Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Lightly roast pecan pieces on a baking sheet for approximately 8 minutes, or until fragrant.
-
While pecans are warm, stir in 1 tablespoon of melted butter and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
-
Spray a bundt pan very liberally with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of the toasted pecans into the bottom of the pan.
-
In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to form the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
-
Separate the frozen dinner rolls. Roll each frozen roll individually in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating thoroughly.
-
Place half of the coated rolls into the prepared bundt pan, arranging them in a circle.
-
Sprinkle 3/4 of the remaining toasted pecans over the first layer of rolls.
-
Top with the remaining half of the cinnamon-coated rolls.
-
Sprinkle the remaining toasted pecans and the dry butterscotch pudding mix evenly over the top layer of rolls.
-
Cut the remaining butter into small cubes and dot them over the top of the rolls.
-
Cover the pan loosely with waxed paper or plastic wrap. Place in a cool spot on the counter and let rise overnight (about 8-12 hours). The dough will rise out of the pan.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Allow to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Invert onto a serving platter to unmold. Serve warm.

Note
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for best texture.
Ingredient Substitutions: If you don't have butterscotch pudding mix, you can omit it and add an extra tablespoon of cinnamon for a classic cinnamon roll flavor.
Tips: Ensure the bundt pan is extremely well-greased to prevent sticking. The overnight rise is key for the flavor development and texture; do not skip this step.
Variation: For a sweeter glaze, mix powdered sugar with a little milk and drizzle over the ring after it has cooled slightly.
