The atmosphere of Christmas is getting stronger and stronger. This is one of my favorite festivals among so many festivals abroad. Every time I see Christmas-related decorations, I feel very happy. When the child was young, I would buy a Christmas tree every Christmas. One of the Christmas decorations is the gingerbread house. Some people say that the gingerbread house originated in Germany. The candy house in Grimm’s fairy tales is a small snack between cakes and biscuits, and is gradually being loved by children; It is also said that in ancient times, "ginger" was an expensive imported spice, and people were only willing to add it to cakes and biscuits on important days like Christmas and Easter to increase the flavor and have the function of fighting the cold. . Over time, gingerbread has become a snack associated with Christmas.
After learning to bake, I want to make a gingerbread house every Christmas, but seeing the shape of the whole house, it feels very complicated, and I didn’t do it until this year. Because I found the easiest way to make a gingerbread house, which is to use gingerbread mix powder and two basic materials to make dough, and then use the gingerbread house mold to print out the various parts and assemble it. It’s very simple. For people who make gingerbread houses for the second time, it takes only one day to complete, and most of the time is spent waiting for the assembly parts to be glued and fixed. "

Ingredients

"oven Gourmet" Christmas Gingerbread House

1. Prepare the ingredients for the gingerbread house. At first, I thought that one packet of flour would be enough. In fact, you need two packets of flour and two eggs. The amount of egg liquid is for reference only and can be kneaded into a dough. If the egg liquid difference is a few grams, it can be replaced with water

2. Pour the gingerbread mix, egg wash and honey in a basin

3. Knead into dough, cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator for 30 minutes

4. Prepare the mold of the gingerbread house. The name of each part is printed on the back of the box, which is the roof and which is the door. It is clear that the base does not need a mold. Just roll out an irregular shape, a large one, you can Just put the gingerbread house

5. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 0.3cm. Use the mold to print out the parts of the house one by one, calculate it well, generally you need to print two of the same mold. (It is best to spread a piece of plastic wrap on the chopping board, then put the dough, and cover the dough with a piece of cling film before rolling out. If the chopping board is not large, cut the dough into small pieces and roll it out.

6. Place the printed biscuit blanks on a non-stick baking tray, leaving a little space between each biscuit. (If you are afraid of deformation during the movement, you can also move the dough piece on the baking tray and print it out, and then remove the extra corners)

7. Use a fork to make a number of small holes on the biscuit base to prevent deformation during baking, brush with egg water, and relax for about 15 minutes

8. Preheat the Dongling K40C oven to 170 degrees, place the bakeware on the penultimate level, and bake for about 12-15 minutes. In order for the biscuits to be colored uniformly, the baking time is the same, and the similar size is baked

9. Take out the baked biscuits and let cool

10. Put the protein powder and powdered sugar into the basin, add cold water, and mix well

11. Use an electric beater to beat until it is thick, thick meringue can be used as a binder (unused meringue needs to be covered with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out)

12. Put part of the meringue into the piping bag and assemble the parts of the house

13. Assemble the four walls first. When assembling each part, you need to wait for the meringue to dry and stick firmly before you continue to assemble the roof, chimney, etc.

14. Take a very small amount of whipped frosting, add a little bit of coloring (just use a toothpick to pick a little bit), add a few drops of cold boiled water, adjust it to red or your favorite color, and draw the window. Take the meringue and add a few drops of cold boiled water to dilute a little bit, draw the lines of the roof, and play freely
