- ¾ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
For the Filling:

- ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar

- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt. Heat the milk and butter until warm, then add to the flour mixture. Beat in the eggs and gradually stir in the remaining flour to form a soft dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Let rise until doubled.

- Make the Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and vanilla. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- Ensure pineapple is well drained to prevent soggy rolls.
- For added tropical flair, consider including chopped macadamia nuts or coconut extract in the glaze.
