Bake Your Homemade Bread Dough into a Cornucopia or Witch's Hat!
For something different this year, bake your own cornucopia centerpiece! Fill it with nuts, fruit or other seasonal fall items. A Horn of Plenty or a spooky Halloween decoration you can eat!
Equipment
- Non-Stick Aluminum Foil
Ingredients
- Traditional White Bucket of Bread For the Traditional White, using the bags, mix this up with about ¼ cup less water. So 1 large bag, 1 yeast bag, and about 295 grams of lukewarm water. This will give you a stiffer dough that forms easier when making this and other recipes beyond just plain bread.
- Hearty Wheat Bucket of Bread
- 1 Egg
- Sesame Seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Form aluminum foil into a cone and stuff it with additional foil to stiffen it up.
- Bend the small end of the cone to form the shape of a cornucopia (not too much as the foil will need removed after baking).
- Roll out some of the risen Traditional White dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut thin strips no wider than 1/4 inch.
- Start at the small end of the cone and begin wrapping the strips of dough around the non-stick foil. It helps to over lap the layers so no foil shows through any gaps.
- Work on wrapping the dough towards the larger end of the foil cone pushing together any new strands that need to be added.
- Use a small amount of Hearty Wheat and Traditional White dough and roll each out to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut two 1 inch wide wheat strands and one 1 inch wide wheat strand and braid them together.
- Push the braid onto the last portion of the large end of the cone covering the edges.
- Egg wash the dough cone to cover as much surface as possible.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds onto the egg washed dough.
- Bake for approximately 20-25 mins.
- Place cone on rack to cool.
- Carefully remove foil.
- Place as a center piece to a wonderful fall meal
- Be thankful!
