Ingredients

Scale

  • 1618 frozen dough rolls
  • 3.4 oz butterscotch pudding mix (not instant)
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup pecans, chopped
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (+1 tablespoon for greasing)

Instructions

The Night Before

  1. Prepare Pan: Grease a Bundt or angel food cake pan with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  2. Layer Ingredients:
    • Arrange frozen dough rolls evenly in the pan.
    • Sprinkle dry butterscotch pudding mix over the rolls.
    • Add an even layer of brown sugar and distribute pecans on top.
    • Drizzle melted butter over everything.
  3. Rest Overnight: Cover loosely with plastic wrap and leave on the counter overnight for the dough to rise. (Tip: Place the pan on a baking sheet to catch any spills.)

The Next Morning

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bake: Remove plastic wrap and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
  3. Cool and Serve: Let cool for 5–10 minutes, then invert the pan onto a serving plate. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or mini chocolate chips.
  • Swap pecans for walnuts or almonds if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat leftovers in the microwave for 15–20 seconds for a fresh-from-the-oven taste.
