Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Eggs
Adds structure and richness, helping the dough hold together and set as it bakes.
Active dry yeast
Ferments the sugars in the dough, producing gas that makes the bread rise.
Unbleached white flour
Provides gluten for structure, giving the loaf its elastic framework and crumb.
Whole wheat flour
Adds body and a nutty flavour, and absorbs more moisture than white flour.
Crushed pineapple
Adds moisture and natural sweetness to keep the crumb tender.
Honey
Adds sweetness and moisture, and helps the crust brown during baking.

The step that matters

Let rise until doubled. The yeast produces the gas that lifts the dough. Under-proofing leaves a dense loaf, while over-proofing can collapse the structure in the oven.
