Instructions

In a small saucepan, add the pineapple juice, milk, sugar, and butter. Melt until the butter and sugar just melt. Do not boil. Let the mixture cool.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the flour and salt.
Pour the milk mixture into the large bowl. Add the sourdough starter. Turn the stand mixer on medium and mix for 5 minutes. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for 1 hour.
After one hour, shape the dough into a smooth ball. Do this by pulling one side of the dough and fold it onto itself. Rotate the bowl and continue stretching until a smooth ball forms. Let it rest for 8-10 hours or until it doubles in size.
After it the dough has doubled in size, turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place it into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. When all the dough balls are shaped, cover the pan with a clean, wet kitchen towel and let it rise for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the rolls for 30-35 minutes or until the top of the rolls are golden brown.

Notes

When you are melting the butter and sugar together, it may look like the mixture separates. Do not panic! The mixture will come back together with a good stir.
To make the dough ahead of time, let the dough rise for 8-10 hours. Once it has doubled in size, cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. You can keep the dough in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to bake the dough, take it out of the refrigerator and shape them into dough balls.
The internal temperature of the rolls should be 190 degrees F. If you are unsure if the rolls are done, use a thermometer to get an accurate reading.
