Buns in the Oven

I baked these this morning. That's an incredible statement in itself. You see, I'm not much of a baker but this recipe is so easy and yields such amazing results that even I can pretend to be an accomplished baker. The secret is frozen dough balls. There are lots of recipes online and they are all slightly different which leads me to believe that this recipe is very forgiving.

1 pkg. frozen dough balls
1/2 c. chopped pecans (optional)
Cinnamon
1/4 lb. butter, melted
1/4 c. + 2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 sm. pkg. regular (not instant) vanilla pudding

Grease bundt pan. Sprinkle with nuts. Toss frozen dough balls in cinnamon. Spread frozen rolls around pan. Sprinkle with pudding mix. Pour melted butter over rolls. Sprinkle with brown sugar and more cinnamon. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel. Let rise overnight in cold oven. Take out in the morning. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 20-25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes to cool. Invert onto serving plate.
