Thanksgiving Bread Cornucopia
Description
Make your Thanksgiving centerpiece yourself from store-bought bread dough, aluminum foil and an oven safe bowl. Not only is it beautiful, you can eat it too!
Ingredients
2 # frozen bread dough
aluminum foil
stainless steel bowl or an oven safe bowl.
cookie sheet
1 c. flour for counter dusting
1 egg and 1 T. water = egg wash
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Remove dough from freezer and rest on counter on a cookie sheet.
Turn stainless bowl upside down and form a cone shape using aluminum foil on top of the bowl. Place this onto the cookie sheet pan. Turn the end of the aluminum cone so it makes a cornucopia shape.
Cut the dough into 8 even pieces.
Dust the counter lightly with flour. Take each piece of dough and roll into a snake shape approximately 2 feet long. Continue this with each piece of dough. When all snake shaped dough is rolled begin to wrap the bowl starting from top to bottom, basically starting from point of cornucopia working your way to the widest part. Don't worry about small gaps in dough lines, during the cooking process the dough will slightly rise and fil in these gaps. Pinch dough together with the next piece of dough until bowl is covered.
Lightly brush finished raw dough form with egg wash.
Bake for 30 minutes or until golden color is reached. Remove from oven and let cool before removing the foil from inside of cornucopia.
Place onto your favorite platter and fill with whatever makes you happy to display on table.
