  1-2 hrs

ingredients

3 containers (11 ounce size) refrigerated soft bread stick dough
1 egg
1 tablespoon water

directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 17x14 inch (or lager) cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

Tear off a 30x18 inch sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Fold it in half to 18x15 inch. Roll diagonally to form a hollow cone, about 18 inches long with a diameter of 5 inches at the widest end (Cornucopia opening). Fasten end with clear tape.

Stuff cone with crumpled regular foil until form is rigid. Bend tail of cone up then down at end. Spray outside of cone with nonstick cooking spray. Place on cookie sheet. Beat the egg with the water to make a glaze.

Open and unroll the first can of bread stick dough on work surface. Separate bread sticks. Begin by wrapping one bread stick around tip of cone. Brush end of next bread stick with Glaze and press to attach to end of first bread stick. Continue spiral-wrapping cone, slightly overlapping dough until there are 3 bread sticks left.

Pinch one end of the 3 bread sticks together, then braid. Brush bread around opening of cornucopia with glaze.

Gently press on braid. Brush entire cornucopia with glaze. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes or until bread is a rich brown. (If parts start to darken too much, cover them with pieces of foil).

Remove from oven. Let cool completely on cookie sheet on a wire rack. Carefully remove foil when cool. (If freezing, leave foil in bread for support. Remove when thawed.) Fill with fall flowers and small squash.

cook's notes

We made this last year and it looks hard but it's really not and it turned out really pretty. And I have no artistic abilities whatsoever!

    Will this be good for the following year or for one season only?
