Ingredients
Instructions
- Place 1 bag of frozen bread rolls in the bottom of a Bundt pan without greasing.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 package of butterscotch pudding over the rolls.
- Pour or sprinkle 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and 1/2 cup pecans over the top.
- Cover the Bundt pan with tin foil and prepare the dish the night before.
- Set aside and refrigerate overnight.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using caramel sauce in place of some of the brown sugar. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can omit the pecans entirely or substitute with sunflower seeds. Ensure the bread rolls are adequately thawed to allow even cooking. This recipe is great for making ahead, as it can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Bubble Bread Cake warm, drizzled with a bit of extra melted butter or a light glaze for added sweetness. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. This dish is perfect for brunch gatherings and can complement savory dishes like the Mandarin Orange-Sweet Potato Casserole.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Bubble Bread Cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate it for up to a week. To reheat, simply warm individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or place slices in a toaster oven until warmed through and slightly crispy.
