Description

A beautiful edible Thanksgiving horn of plenty made with just one package of refrigerated Pillsbury pizza dough. Fill it with cheese, crackers, grapes, and your favorite holiday appetizers.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 package (13.8 oz) Pillsbury Classic Pizza Crust, refrigerated

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 1 egg, beaten, for egg wash

  • Aluminum foil, for forming the horn

  • Cheese cubes, crackers, grapes, and nuts, for serving (amounts as desired)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

  2. Shape aluminum foil into a curved cornucopia, with a wide opening and a narrower, curved tip.

  3. Spray the foil mold generously with nonstick cooking spray.

  4. Unroll the package of Pillsbury pizza dough and cut it into thin strips using a pizza cutter.

  5. Starting at the narrow end, wrap the strips around the foil mold, slightly overlapping and pressing them together to prevent gaps.

  6. Use three remaining thin strips to create a braid and press it around the wide opening.

  7. Transfer to a baking sheet and brush the dough with beaten egg.

  8. Bake for approximately 14–15 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.

  9. Allow the cornucopia to cool, then gently remove the aluminum foil from inside.

  10. Arrange on a large serving platter with cheese, crackers, grapes, and your favorite appetizers.

Notes

  • Use traditional Pillsbury Classic Pizza Crust, not thin crust.

  • The original vintage recipe calls for crescent roll dough, but this version uses pizza dough.

  • Make the bread one day ahead and assemble the platter shortly before serving.

  • The exact size of your cornucopia depends on how you shape the foil.

  • Prep time is estimated. The serving count depends on how much cheese, fruit, and other food you arrange around the finished horn.
