Grease a 9- or 10-inch tube pan with softened butter. Sprinkle sugar and butterscotch pudding mix into the prepared tube pan; arrange rolls on top. Sprinkle with pecans and brown sugar, then drizzle with melted butter. Place the pan in a cold oven and allow dough to rise for 8 hours to overnight.

Remove the pan from the oven.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Invert the pan onto a large plate and lift to release bread.
