Ingredients:
For the bread:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Butter | 3/4 cup, softened |
| Pineapple (crushed) | 1 cup, drained |
| Eggs | 2 large |
| All-purpose flour | 1 1/4 cups |
| Pineapple juice | 1/4 cup |
| Granulated sugar | 1/4 cup |
| Milk | 2 tablespoons |
| Baking powder | 1/2 teaspoon |
For the Glaze:
| Ingredient | Quantity |

| Pineapple liquid | 2 tablespoons (from a can of crushed pineapple) |
| Confectioners sugar | 1 cup |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the drained pineapple and pineapple juice.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add Milk:
- Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the Batter:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake the Bread:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
- Cool the Bread:
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners sugar, pineapple liquid, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly runny.
- Glaze the Bread:
- Once the bread has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.
