Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut frozen bread dough into 12 equal pieces.
- Grease a tube pan and arrange the bread sections in a circle inside the pan.
- Sprinkle butterscotch pudding, cinnamon, and nuts over the bread dough.
- Mix butter, sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Cook the mixture until the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the prepared bread rolls.
- Cover and let rise in the refrigerator overnight.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.
- Immediately invert the pan onto a plate when done to serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon. If you don't have butterscotch pudding, vanilla pudding can work as a substitute. For a nut-free version, simply omit the pecans or walnuts. Ensure the dough is completely thawed before cutting for even baking. This recipe can also make delightful mini rolls if you prefer smaller portions.
Serving Suggestions
These Easy Breakfast Rolls are delicious on their own, but they pair beautifully with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent touch. Serve alongside a hot cup of coffee or tea for a delightful breakfast experience. Consider adding a side of scrambled eggs or bacon for a more substantial meal that complements these sweet rolls.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for about a week. To reheat, place the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or microwave for a few seconds until warmed through, to restore their softness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh dough instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh dough, but it may not yield the same texture. If using fresh dough, allow it to rise until doubled in size before shaping and baking. This will ensure the rolls are fluffy and light.
How can I make these rolls more decadent?
To elevate the flavor, you could add chocolate chips or dried fruits like cranberries or raisins to the mixture. Drizzling a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk over the rolls after baking can also add a sweet finish.
Can these rolls be frozen after baking?
Absolutely! Once cooled, wrap the rolls tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat as directed.
