Cornucopia
Craft a stunning and edible cornucopia centerpiece for your Thanksgiving feast! This breadstick-based creation is as fun to make as it is impressive to display, overflowing with the bounty of the harvest. Note: If you want to preserve your cornucopia for re-use, consider spraying it with shellac or clear enamel after baking. However, be aware that this will render it inedible.

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 the tail of the cone up then down at the end. Spray outside of the cone with non-stick cooking spray. Place on cookie sheet.

Beat the egg with the water to make a glaze. Open and unroll the first can of breadstick dough on a work surface. Separate breadsticks. Begin by wrapping one breadstick around the tip of the cone. Brush the end of the next breadstick with glaze and press to attach it to the end of the first breadstick. Continue spiral-wrapping the cone, slightly overlapping the dough until there are 3 breadsticks left. (25 minutes)

Remove from oven and let cool completely on a cookie sheet on a wire rack. Carefully remove foil when cool. (If freezing, leave foil in bread for support. Remove when thawed.) (60 minutes)
For a golden-brown finish, ensure the entire cornucopia is evenly coated with the egg wash before baking.
To prevent the foil form from collapsing during baking, make sure it is tightly packed with crumpled foil.
Experiment with different breadstick flavors! Garlic, herb, or even cheese-filled breadsticks can add a unique twist.
After baking, let cool completely before removing the foil structure. This will prevent cracking or breaking.
