Thanksgiving is a holiday where we gather with family and friends to give thanks for all of the blessings in our life.  The cornucopia, or horn of plenty, is a traditional symbol of the holiday.

I have been making this bread cornucopia for many years. I began by making it for my first elementary classes for our Thanksgiving feast.  Then, when I had my own children, I always included this fun and festive centerpiece in our Thanksgiving dinner.  These past couple of years, I have not included it and it has been missed.  I recently was scrolling Pinterest and spotted this pin.  I instantly knew what I should make!

When I went to the market to pick up the ingredients, I couldn’t find Pillsbury breadsticks.  Instead, I purchased a couple of cans of Pillsbury pizza crust.  It worked out just as well.

Ingredients:

• 2 cans of Pillsbury breadsticks (or pizza crust)
• aluminum foil
• non-stick spray
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• pizza cutter
• pastry brush

To create your own bread cornucopia, follow these simple step by step directions:

1. Preheat your oven according to package directions.
2. Create a cornucopia shape with your foil and spray it with non-stick spray.
3. Open cans of dough.  If you are not using breadsticks, use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into strips.
4. Starting at the end of the cornucopia, wrap the dough strips around the foil, slightly overlapping the dough.
5. When complete, twist the final dough strip and place around the opening of the cornucopia.
6. Beat the egg and a tablespoon of water in a small bowl to create an egg wash.
7. Brush the egg wash onto the bread cornucopia and bake.

Keep an eye on it as it may brown quickly.  After mine was browned, I tented it with foil and let it bake an additional few minutes to ensure the dough was cooked.

I hope you enjoy this festive, edible bread cornucopia on your holiday table.  Wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving!
