Gingerbread House (a House Built Every Christmas)
1.
Pour all the materials into the container
2.
Knead with your hands to form a uniform and smooth dough
3.
Because the dough is relatively large, divide the dough into several portions. Take one portion and roll it out into thin slices. You can roll it on a silicone mat. Then put the cut paper model of the gingerbread house on the dough and use a knife to carve out all the parts.
4.
When we decorate the gingerbread house, we will use some biscuits from the Christmas tree and the gingerbread villain, so we also use a mold to carve out
5.
Put the engraved noodles on the baking tray, use toothpicks to make small holes to avoid bulging; put them in the middle layer of the oven preheated 170 degrees in advance, and bake for about 17-20 minutes
6.
After baking and cooling the various components of the gingerbread house, we start to assemble. Before assembling, we need to adjust some meringue frosting
7.
Put the meringue frosting into the piping bag, we start to assemble the gingerbread house, first put the bottom of the gingerbread house on the table, then take the back wall of a big house, and coat the bottom and sides with a layer of meringue frosting
8.
Then apply a layer of meringue frosting to the bottom and sides of a side wall, stick the two pieces to the appropriate position on the chassis, hold it with your hands for a few minutes, and then fix it.
9.
Then use the same method to paste the other side wall and the front wall
10.
The next thing that needs to be fixed is the roof of the big house. The roof will be heavier, so it needs to be pressed for a longer time. You can also roll out the dough relatively thinner when making the roof, which can also reduce its weight.
11.
Apply icing to the place where the two biscuits are connected.
12.
After the big house is fixed, we start to build the small house, the method and steps are the same
13.
Build an auxiliary room
14.
Glue the door
15.
Finally, we start to fix the fence part, which is the same place where the bottom can touch the chassis. We apply a layer of icing sugar, and then press and fix it for a while.
16.
The door part is also the same
17.
After all the houses are built, we start to decorate; first use the white icing in the piping bag to white all the connections that can be seen on the house, on the one hand to reinforce, on the other hand to outline the lines of the house; then the windows The outlines on the top are all painted white to make it feel like snow; then a layer of icing is applied to the top of the fence to become falling snow; the top of the door is also decorated with some icing
18.
Now we are going to prepare some white frosting and add some lemon juice to make it a thinner frosting so that we can use a brush to brush on the surface of the two roofs and the surface of the fence
19.
After finishing the white icing on the roof, use the white icing in the piping bag to draw wavy lines to decorate it. Then put the pre-made biscuits with Christmas elements such as biscuits and Christmas trees on top, or decorate them with Christmas ornaments. Finally, from the top of the gingerbread house, sift some powdered sugar until the whole base becomes white and the house is also white.
20.
Add some bells and gift boxes to make the house more Christmas.
Tips:
1. The size of this gingerbread house is about 30X20 cm;
2. Increasing the amount of cinnamon powder will make the dough darker.
