Pineapple Bread is one kind of sweat bread originated in Hong Kong. After some time of baking, the appearance of Pineapple Bread tends to turn to golden and become concavo-convex crisp, looking much like a pineapple, hence gaining this name. A baking mixture of sugar, eggs, flour and lard is placed on the surface of the pineapple. These crisp skins, as the essence of plain bread, deliver the best flavor while they are hot.
