Recipe View 10 mins In a large bowl, pour the warm water and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let stand for 10 minutes, or until the yeast is foamy, indicating that it is active.

Recipe View 5 mins In the same bowl, add the pineapple juice, sugar, eggs, melted butter, water, vanilla extract, and ground ginger. Whisk until well combined.

Recipe View 10 mins Gradually add half of the flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and no dry spots remain. Then, slowly incorporate the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.

Recipe View 1 hrs Lightly grease a large bowl with oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.

Recipe View 5 mins While the dough is rising, prepare three round cake pans by lightly greasing them. Set aside.

Recipe View 10 mins Once the dough has doubled, gently deflate it and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into three equal portions and shape each portion into a round loaf.

Recipe View 40 mins Place each loaf into a prepared cake pan. Cover with a towel and let rise again in a warm place for about 40 minutes, or until the loaves have doubled in size.

Recipe View 10 mins Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Recipe View 30 mins Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bottom of a loaf sounds hollow when tapped. If the tops begin to brown too quickly, tent them loosely with foil.

Recipe View 10 mins Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve!
