Butterscotch Bubble Bread - Helen's Exclusive Recipe - Dishes Delish (2024)

This is my version of my Aunt Helen’s butterscotch bubble bread recipe and I think I nailed it! Hunks of bread and just enough ooey gooey goodness without making you feel like you have to exercise the whole day to work off the butterscotch bubble bread!

This bread is so delicious,but I don’t make it often.When I do, I have to control myself from gobbling it all down.

That’s how delicious it is.And that’s why I don’t make it often.

When you make it, and notice I didn’t say if you make it, you will understand.

So make it when you have guests. You will thank me.

One of the things I love about this recipe is it has just the right amount of butterscotch, not so much you’d have to exercise for a week to work it off.

A little about me

I don’t know about you, but I have struggled with weight issues my whole life.

So, when I look at some dishes, I think, “Yikes, that’s a lot of calories!”

Which is why you will notice on this blog, I usually cut down on the sugar in my sweets and try to use fairly healthy ingredients in my meals.

I do this because, as I’ve stated a bunch of times on the blog, I am a little frightened of how excessive foodies are getting with their sweets.I worry for young people.

Could I have made this butterscotch bubble bread with more butterscotchy goodness?

You bet I could.But I never want a food itemto swim insomething when a lesser amount would be just as good. Not only good, but healthier.

Off my soapbox.

Helpful tips

• Since you are going to make this for breakfast – or so I’m assuming, you need to defrost the bread. This recipe uses 1.5 loaves.
• The bread needs 6 hours to defrost so place the two loaves in the refrigerator. You don’t want to raise the bread yet.
• I put the loaves in the refrigerator at 3:00 p.m. so I can start the next step at 9:00 p.m.

How to make the butterscotch bubble bread

Step one

I’m showing you this photo below to show all the ingredients together but there is a timing to the recipe. See helpful tips.

Gather the ingredients – frozen white bread, butter, butterscotch pudding, brown sugar, nuts and cinnamon.

My aunt used to make this recipe, but she made it with frozen raw bread rolls, but I couldn’t find them.

Time delay

See helpful tips. You’re going to start this portion of the recipe at 9:00 p.m.

Step two

Get a 12 cup bundt pan and spray it with cooking spray.

Step three

Cut the 1.5 loaves in chunks and roll each chunk between your palms and place in the pan.

The chunks don’t have to be perfect balls as they will fuse together as they rise and when you bake them.

Step four

Sprinkle pecans on the dough balls. Use as many as you like.

Step five

Add the pudding mix and brown sugar in a bowl and whisk together. Sprinkle onto the dough balls.

Step six

Melt a stick of butter in a small saucepan and pour it over the pudding mix.

Step seven

Cut a piece of plastic wrap and spray a little nonstick coating on it and carefully place the plastic wrap on the raw butterscotch bubble bread and place it in the fridge overnight to rise. (8 hours)

Fast forward next day

Step eight

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step nine

Bake for 25 – 30 minutes.

Let the bread rest for 5 minutes in the pan before turning it out onto a plate.

Some of the butterscotch mixture was still in the Bundt pan after I removed the bubble bread, so I dribbled it over the top.

I break off a few pieces of the butterscotch bubble bread and bite into one of them before I put it on the plate.

Success!! It tastes just like my Aunt’s version used to enjoy.

Now remember, you can also DIP the bubble bread in the lovely butterscotch sauce before eating each piece. How great is that?

I hope you enjoyed this recipe as much as I did eating the bread.

And as always, may all your dishes be delish!
