For the glaze:
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice (from the canned crushed pineapple)

Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and set aside. 🔥
2️⃣ Prepare the dry ingredients:
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. 🥣
3️⃣ Cream butter and sugar:
In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. 🍶
4️⃣ Add the eggs:
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. 🥚🥚
5️⃣ Mix in the pineapple juice and dry ingredients:
Gradually add the ¼ cup reserved pineapple juice and the sifted dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating between the two. Mix until everything is well combined. 🍍
6️⃣ Incorporate milk and crushed pineapple:
Stir in the milk until well blended. Then gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple. 🥛🍍
7️⃣ Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. ⏳
8️⃣ Cool:
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely. 🌬️
9️⃣ Make the glaze:
While the bread cools, mix the glaze ingredients (pineapple juice, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract) in a small bowl until smooth. 🍶
🔟 Glaze the bread:
Once the bread is fully cooled, pour the glaze over the top. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving. 🍞🍍
