PREPARATION

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 17×14 inch (or lager) cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Tear off a 30×18 inch sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Fold it in half to 18×15 inch. Roll diagonally to form a hollow cone, about 18 inches long with a diameter of 5 inches at the widest end (Cornucopia opening). Stuff cone with crumpled regular foil until form is rigid. Bend tail of cone up then down at end. Spray outside of cone with non-stick cooking spray. Place on cookie sheet.
  3. Beat the egg with the water to make a glaze. Open and unroll the first can of Pizza dough on work surface, with a pizza cutter cut the dough into 10-12 strips. Begin by wrapping one piece of dough around the tip of the cone. Brush end of next dough strip with egg wash and press to attach the end of first dough strip. Continue spiral-wrapping cone, slightly overlapping dough until the aluminum cone is covered with the dough strips.
  4. Brush bread around opening of cornucopia with egg wash.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until bread is a rich brown color. (If parts start to darken too much, cover them with pieces of foil.)
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely on cookie sheet on a wire rack. Carefully remove foil when cool.
