Christmas Gingerbread House

Christmas Gingerbread House

Introduction:

"It is said that during the Crusade," Ginger "was an expensive imported spice, so it was only used for important festivals such as Christmas and Easter. Add ginger to cakes and biscuits to increase flavor and have the function of dispelling cold. Over time, gingerbread has become a snack associated with Christmas. In the future, there will be a "Gingerbread market" in Europe, which will provide different shapes of gingerbread according to different seasons. Among them, Nuremberg in Germany enjoys the reputation of "Gingerbread city". There is also a legend in Britain that unmarried women can meet their ideal partners when they eat gingerbread. After giving the atmosphere of Christmas, gingerbread was soon widely spread and became a snack for Christmas. On Saint Nicholas Day on December 6, in northern France and Germany, the godfather and godmother will send Gingerbread in various shapes, such as heart star and human shape, to the children, or secretly put them into the socks they expect. Gradually, gingerbread became the material of fairy tales and made into gingerbread houses of various shapes. Americans pushed the atmosphere of gingerbread houses to the extreme and became gingerbread houses echoed all over the world. It has been half a year since baking. There is no place for all kinds of moulds. There are only a few commonly used moulds to buy. But I can't help but want all kinds of moulds. Wow, is this the common fault of everyone who plays baking? As early as ten days ago, I always wanted to be a gingerbread house, but procrastination came to me again. I thought that today was Christmas. I moved quickly yesterday. The drawings were drawn several days ago, and I enlarged them by using the online drawings. It took me more than a day to make gingerbread house. In fact, it can be done well in one day, but I don't know where to go Looking at the finished house and looking forward to the future home, I don't have high requirements. I just want a big kitchen to make more delicious food for you! The Gingerbread House finally packed and took away, and forgot to take a group photo, 555555 ········· "

Production steps:

Step 1: first draw a good drawing, or online printing, with cardboard cut out the need for cardboard

Step 2: raw materials are shown in the figure

Step 3: sift the low gluten flour, sugar powder, turmeric powder and cinnamon powder, heat brown sugar with water over low heat until the sugar dissolves, cool, heat the butter to dissolve, take three eggs, weigh out 90 grams of egg liquid, and add double water to the remaining egg liquid for back brushing

Step 4: knead all the ingredients into a smooth dough, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours

Step 5: take out the loose dough, roll the right amount of dough into 3 mm thick pieces, cover with plastic film and cut out the required shape according to the cardboard. After all the wall pieces are cut, roll a large piece of slightly thicker dough as the base, and the rest can be made into small pieces or gingerbread

Step 6: fork small holes on the surface of the cut dough, brush egg water to relax for 20 minutes, brush egg water again to relax for 20 minutes, preheat the oven for 180 degrees, send the dough to the oven for 180 degrees after relaxation for about 10 minutes (pay attention to the separate baking of large pieces and small pieces), thicken the base for a little longer, and then proceed to the next step after thorough cooling

Step 7: take 300 grams of powdered sugar, 40 grams of egg white and a few drops of lemon juice (here is for painting)

The eighth step: egg white and lemon juice, with egg whisk until dense foam, slowly add sugar powder to fight, that is, protein icing.

Step 9: divide the frosting into several parts, add two drops of pigment you like, mix them evenly and put them into the flower mounting bag. Cut a small hole in the flower mounting bag for standby (the black one in the picture is chocolate. It's cold, and the chocolate will be hard soon, so it's useless in the back.)

Step 10: you can draw your favorite pattern on the baked wall, and then do the bonding after the frosting is dry and hard

Step 11: with an egg white, add 200 grams of sugar powder, a few drops of lemon juice, stir into icing, do bonding

Step 12: fix the four walls on the base first, and support the wall firmly with suitable things

Step 13: after the walls are completely firm, the roof should be firmly supported by hand to avoid sliding

Step 14: use the rest of the icing sugar to glue other small pieces. I have made a doghouse, a fence, a walking ladder, and the roof needs a relatively thin icing sugar. Use 150 grams of powdered sugar, an egg white, and a few drops of lemon juice to stir it according to the previous method. You can also directly use powdered sugar to sieve a little on the roof

Step 15: after more than a day's work, it's done

Step 16: also painted a beautiful biscuit

Step 17: finally pack it and send it to cheat other people's children. The little gingerbread house carries hope, dream and love. I wish the people I love are healthy and happy
