The Best Sourdough Hawaiian Rolls (King’s Hawaiian Copycat Recipe)

These sourdough Hawaiian rolls are soft, fluffy, and perfectly sweet, just like the beloved King’s Hawaiian version! Thanks to tangzhong and a sweet stiff starter, they stay fresh for days, pull apart beautifully, and are versatile enough for everything from slider buns to French toast. This sourdough Hawaiian rolls recipe was tested by 194 home bakers spanning from Florida all the way to Australia. We actually did two rounds of testing, with improvements made based on initial feedback, resulting in the final version that earned a 4.4 out of 5-star average satisfaction rating.
