How to Make Frosted Pineapple Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add the melted butter, eggs, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Roll out the dough to a 12x18 inch rectangle. Spread the pineapple filling evenly over the dough.
  7. Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long side. Cut into 12 equal slices.
  8. Place the slices cut-side up in the prepared pan. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. While the squares are baking, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy.
  11. Gradually add the powdered sugar and milk, beating until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract.
  12. Once the squares have cooled completely, frost them with the prepared frosting.
