Equipment

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter 113 grams (1 stick)
3.5 ounces Cook ‘n Serve Butterscotch Pudding Mix 99 grams (1 box)
½ cup dark brown sugar 107 grams
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon (or Penzey's pie spice)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup chopped pecans 113 grams, divided (optional)
24 unbaked frozen dinner rolls 912 grams, Rhodes recommended

Instructions

Generously spray a 10-inch Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Microwave the butter, butterscotch pudding mix, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt on 50% power until butter has melted. Whisk together until incorporated.
½ cup unsalted butter, 3.5 ounces Cook ‘n Serve Butterscotch Pudding Mix, ½ cup dark brown sugar, ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Sprinkle ½ cup pecans into the pan.
1 cup chopped pecans
Place half the frozen rolls evenly over the pecans leaving a little space (¼-inch) between rolls.
24 unbaked frozen dinner rolls
Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup pecans and ½ of the butter/pudding mixture over the rolls.
Add the remaining frozen rolls on top of the butter/pudding mixture (cutting the rolls where needed).
Top evenly with the remaining butter/pudding mixture.
Spray one side of plastic wrap with nonstick spray and place it loosely (sprayed-side down) over the rolls.
Leave the pan for 5-6 hours (on the countertop) or 8-10 hours (in the refrigerator).
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F and bake 25-27 minutes, or until the internal temperature registers 200°F-205°F.
Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and cool 5 minutes.
Set a large plate (larger than the pan) over the rolls and invert the rolls onto the plate. Be very careful – the pan and the rolls are very hot and the drippings can burn if not extremely careful.
Serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe will take at least 5 hours to thaw the dough (or 8-10 hours overnight)
If using a 9-inch Bundt pan, reduce the number of rolls to 19 and keep the remaining ingredients the same.
The bread is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 200°F-205°F or an inserted toothpick comes out clean. It will be puffy and crisp on the top.

Storage: Store butterscotch monkey bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
