Total Time: 2 hours
Yield: 1 large cornucopia
Ingredients:
- 16 ounces bread dough (I used Rhodes Bake and Serve frozen rolls, thawed)
- oil spray
- foil
- flour for dusting
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp water
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Bring all your dough to room temperature then form into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and keep in a warm area.
- After about an hour or so, your dough will double in size.
- Take a piece of foil about 20 inches long. Form into a cone shape.
- Start rolling the ends and twisting inward to make the cornucopia tail.
- You will need another smaller piece of foil to finish the opening area of the cornucopia. Just add on top then fold into the other piece to secure.
- Bunch up a couple other pieces of foil into large balls and throw inside cornucopia. This will keep it sturdy with all the bread dough around it.
- Place dough on a floured work surface.
- Roll out quite flat then use a pizza cutter or knife to turn them into strips. Set a tiny little piece aside to make decorative leaves.
- Spray the entire exterior of the foil cornucopia with oil.
- Place on a greased baking sheet then begin wrapping the foil with the strips of dough, starting at the tail end.
- Continue to wrap all the way around the foil until you reach the other end. It's helpful to make a wad of foil under the tail to support it and keep it up.
- Form some of the leftover dough into leaves. Use a knife to make indentations and textures.
- Beat the egg with the water in a bowl.
- Put some egg on the back of the leaves to attach to cornucopia.
- Brush the rest of the egg wash onto the entire cornucopia exterior.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden.
- Allow to cool completely, then remove all the foil from the inside.
- Fill with any foods you like. I fill mine with fruit and have a cream cheese and salsa dipping sauce on the side. Delicious!
