Hawaiian buns

[lindag]

I'm a total sucker for any kind of bread but I've never tried these.  Mostly because of the sweetened dough.

But I saw packages in my grocers recently that were smaller (a dozen is just too much for me) and I was/am tempted.

So are they worth taking home or are they just meh?

Here we get King's Hawaiian bread in various forms. Very yellow, soft and slightly sweet. The kids used to like the slider type ones for salty savory pickly sandwiches - a nice range of tastes. I lightly toasted them.  They have a huge manufacturing and restaurant business locally in Torrance.

I like the King's Hawaiian buns for smoked pork. At least, I think I do. I haven't had them in a very long time so it may just be one of those things that I remember being better than it actually was. They're not available where I live now. I've tried a few copycat recipes to make my own but they never really turn out like I remember the King's tasting so it's entirely possible the memory is faulty.

  If you like brioche style buns, you should try them.  They're even sweeter, dissolve faster on the tongue, and can compress to nothingness.  On the Glycemic Index, they're right between fructose and sucrose (JK!).

 

  They're sort of the Wonderbread of brioche, but like that "bread", can be addictive.
