Notes

Tips
For a sweeter bread, you can add more sugar to the dough or to the pineapple filling.
For a more flavorful bread, you can add spices to the dough, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
You can also use fresh pineapple chunks instead of canned pineapple. If using fresh pineapple, be sure to chop it finely before adding it to the filling.
Pineapple bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.
