Copycat King’s Hawaiian Rolls Recipe

Want a tasty Hawaiian rolls recipe that tastes like what King’s offers? Check out this copycat dinner roll you can make in your Instant Pot!

There are some flavors you just want to have in your home often. They complement your meal so well that you can’t get enough.  For my family, King’s Hawaiian Rolls are one of those staples. Everyone is always asking for them with several different main courses. Or they just eat them for a snack, with some butter. Cinnamon honey butter would be amazing on these rolls; I’m dreaming of Texas Roadhouse right now!! Mmmmm……

So, I decided to try my hand at a copycat Hawaiian rolls recipe. That sweetness should be able to be duplicated, right? Thankfully it was! These fluffy rolls offer the hint of sweet flavor that the King’s brand does, without making a special run to the store for the real thing.

Only five ingredients are needed, and I get to use my Instant Pot to ready the dough for the oven.

{Pair these sweet dinner rolls with our Instant Pot Chili, Coconut Pineapple Chicken, or Apple Juice Marinated Pork Tenderloin for a delicious meal!}
