Pecan Rolls(Breakfast)
Sweet pecan rolls with butterscotch pudding and cinnamon offer a rich, nutty breakfast treat perfect for overnight preparation and sharing with family or guests.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Night before, partially defrost frozen bread dough and cut into 8 slices.
- Lay each slice flat in the bottom of a greased Bundt pan.
- Spread each slice with butterscotch pudding, brown sugar, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and melted margarine.
- Cover the pan and let sit out overnight.
- Do not refrigerate.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal results, ensure the bread dough is only partially thawed; this keeps the rolls light and fluffy. If butterscotch pudding isn't available, you can substitute with vanilla pudding for a different flavor. Adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon can enhance the flavor profile. If you're short on time, you can use pre-made dough instead of frozen bread dough.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these pecan rolls warm, drizzled with a simple vanilla glaze for added sweetness. They pair beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or tea. For a heartier breakfast, consider serving them alongside scrambled eggs or bacon. They also make a delightful treat at brunch gatherings, complementing dishes like Sweet And Spicy Spareribs for a diverse spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pecan rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you need to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place them in a microwave-safe dish and cover with a damp paper towel, heating in 15-20 second intervals until warm. Alternatively, reheating in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes can restore their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these pecan rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls the night before and let them rise overnight in the Bundt pan. Just ensure they are covered properly to prevent drying out. In the morning, they will be ready to bake right away, making them a perfect make-ahead breakfast option.
What can I use instead of margarine?
If you prefer not to use margarine, you can substitute it with unsalted butter or a plant-based butter for a vegan option. Both will give a rich flavor to the rolls while maintaining the necessary moisture.
Can I add other ingredients to the rolls?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix in chocolate chips, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of shredded coconut for additional flavor and texture. Just be mindful of the overall sweetness and moisture content to keep the dough balanced.
