Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix cinnamon and 3/4 cup of sugar in a plastic bag and shake.
- Cut biscuits into quarters and add to the bag, then shake to coat.
- Place the coated biscuit pieces into an ungreased bunt pan.
- In a saucepan, bring butter, remaining sugar, and brown sugar to a boil.
- Pour the hot sugar mixture over the biscuits in the pan.
- Add pecans on top of the mixture.
- Let the bread rise overnight.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes.
- Remove from the pan immediately after baking.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the butter mixture. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds can be good substitutes. To speed up the rising process, place the bun pan in a warm area, but keep it covered to prevent drying out. Also, you can use frozen biscuits if you’re short on time, just make sure to thaw them first.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Bunt Bread warm from the oven as a delightful breakfast treat or brunch centerpiece. It pairs beautifully with Golden Delight Pancakes for a delicious morning spread. Consider adding a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup on top for extra sweetness. It also makes a great addition to any holiday gathering or family brunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Bunt Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to a week. To reheat, wrap individual pieces in foil and warm in a low oven until heated through, or microwave briefly for a soft texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of biscuit?
Yes, you can use any brand of refrigerated biscuits. Just ensure they are similar in size and baking instructions to the Pillsbury biscuits for consistent results. Experimenting with flavored biscuits may also add a unique twist to the Bunt Bread.
How do I know when the Bunt Bread is done baking?
The Bunt Bread is done when it's golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on it during the last few minutes of baking to avoid overcooking.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the biscuit mixture and let it rise overnight in the refrigerator. Just remember to take it out to come to room temperature before baking. This allows the dough to rise properly and ensures a fluffy texture.
