Ingredients
Instructions
- Place nuts, melted butter, and brown sugar in the bottom of a lift-out tube pan.
- Sprinkle the dry instant pudding on top of the nuts and sugar.
- Place frozen rolls on top of the pudding mixture.
- Follow the baking directions on the package of the rolls.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, try using flavored instant pudding like vanilla or butterscotch instead of plain. If you don’t have frozen rolls, you can use homemade dough or even biscuit dough as a substitute. Toasted pecans or walnuts work well in this recipe, so feel free to swap the nuts according to your preference. Ensure the butter is fully melted to create a smooth mixture with the sugar and nuts.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Pull Bread warm for a delightful breakfast or brunch treat. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside fresh fruit or a yogurt parfait. You can also drizzle a simple glaze over the top for extra sweetness, reminiscent of the flavors found in American recipes like Nanny's Peach Cobbler.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Pull Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm them in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes until heated through. This will help maintain its soft texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare this Pull Bread ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the layers in the pan and refrigerate overnight before baking. Just remember to take it out and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking, so the rolls have time to rise slightly and bake evenly.
What can I use instead of nuts?
If you have nut allergies or prefer not to use them, you can substitute with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds. Alternatively, you could use dried fruit like raisins or cranberries for a different texture and flavor profile, adding a touch of sweetness.
Is it possible to make this recipe vegan?
To make this Pull Bread vegan, use plant-based butter and choose a vegan instant pudding mix. Additionally, ensure that the frozen rolls you select are dairy-free. This way, you can enjoy a delicious vegan version of this classic recipe without compromising on flavor.
