And let me tell you – this bread makes the perfect loaf for breakfasts, brunches, sandwiches, and toast! The sweetness of the Hawaiian bread is a fantastic flavor and really level up your bread game.

Sourdough Starter Discard Hawaiian Bread

This Sourdough Brioche recipe is the perfect way to use your sourdough discard from a starter. I hate throwing out food (or rather, composting it!)- so I’m always looking for ways to reuse kitchen scraps to cut back on waste. Instead of tossing your discard when you feed your sourdough starter, try this awesome recipe instead. I have a whole page on my site for recipes that use sourdough discard. That way you can add a hint of sourdough flavor to your baked goods, and cut back on food waste. This brioche recipe uses unfed starter, so just use the discard straight from the bowl.

What Makes Bread Hawaiian?

Hawaiian bread is made with pineapple juice, to give the dough a light and sweet flavor. You can use fresh pineapple juice, frozen, or even canned. I actually used the juice leftover from this canned pineapple, which I love! That way I can enjoy the pineapple chunks in my recipes (My Aloha BBQ Tofu recipe is a perfect savory/sweet dinner recipe) and use the juice in this bread, or a margarita!

How Do I Make Hawaiian Bread with Sourdough Starter?

This may look like a complicated recipe because it has a lot of steps, but believe me this is a simple and easy bread to bake! It’s actually easier than my normal sourdough recipe because you don’t have to knead it.
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the sourdough starter, flour (start with 4 1/2 cups), sugar, active yeast, and salt. Mix well to combine, and make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
  2. Add melted butter, milk, and egg to a bowl, scramble well with a fork until combined. Add the egg mixture to the center of the flour well. Pour the warm water over the egg mixture. With a large spoon, mix well to combine all ingredients into a dough. Dough should be sticky and thick. If your dough is sticking to the sides of the bowl, add the remaining 1/2 cup flour.
  3. Cover with plastic wrap and place bowl in the refrigerator overnight (8 to 12 hours).
  4. The next morning, grease 2 8×4 loaf pans. Turn dough out onto a well-floured work surface.
  5. Divide dough into 2 equal parts. Roll the rough out to about 4 inches wide and 20 inches long. Take one end of the long side of the dough, and begin to tightly roll inwards, like a cinnamon roll. Tuck the edges of the dough under so it is roughly the same size as the loaf pan. Place the rolled dough in loaf pan to rest. Repeat with the other piece of dough. Cover, and allow dough to rise in the loaf pans in a warm place for 2 hours or until doubled in size (mine has taken up to 4 hours on colder days).
  6. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush the tops of the dough with egg wash (1 egg mixed with 2 tablespoons water) and place in oven to bake for 22 to 28 minutes. Top should be brown, but if it starts to look burnt, then cover with foil and continue to bake.
  7. Allow loaves to cool on a rack for at least 45 minutes before slicing.

Dietary Modifications

  • To make this Hawaiian bread vegan: substitute out the eggs, butter, and milk for plant based varieties. I’ve actually make brioche with almond milk before and it tastes great!
  • To make dairy free: use plant-based milk and butter.
