They use chemicals because it is a mass produced, commercial, product.
I looked at recipes for Portuguese bread dsi spoke about and it
reminds me of brioche and challah, which have a different flavor from
King's... plus, there's more than one style of Portuguese bread.
King's is Hawaiian and Hawaii used to grown pineapples, so using
pineapple juice makes sense to me. The copy cat versions call for
pineapple juice, so it must replicate the flavor that Gary and I don't
seem to like. Otherwise, why would every single copycat recipe I've
seen call for it? This one doesn't claim to be a copycat, but it uses
lemon.
