Warm up Christmas with dream house -- Gingerbread House

Introduction:

"Christmas is still more than half a month away. There are Christmas trees everywhere in the shops on the street, and Santa Claus makes the festive atmosphere come. Gingerbread house is the most suitable and festive food for Christmas. Gingerbread biscuits with ginger fragrance are used to make the parts of the house, and then they are decorated with icing. The gingerbread house is like a fairy tale house, full of dreamy color. I spent a few hours with my daughter to make two gingerbread houses. For the first time, the size of the house was reduced. The mini version of the house made our production a little inconvenient. However, it was a happy process to make handicrafts with my daughter. I think Meimei has the same memory as me. These two gingerbread houses are the only food that we can't bear to eat after taking good photos. They are so beautiful. They are very satisfied and enjoy when they are placed on the table. "

Production steps:

Step 1: get the materials ready.

Step 2: pour the premixed powder into a large bowl and add honey.

Step 3: add the beaten egg mixture.

Step 4: mix well with scraper, knead into dough by hand, cover with plastic film and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 5: cut each part of the gingerbread house drawing one by one to make a paper model. (I'm lazy and use Jun Zhi's, you can design it according to your own preference)

Step 6: put the loose dough on the chopping board, sprinkle a little hand powder and roll it into a thin dough with a thickness of about 0.3cm.

Step 7: put the cut paper model on the dough, and cut the gingerbread with a knife according to the edge of the model.

Step 8: carefully place the cut dough on the baking plate, pierce some holes with a fork, brush a layer of egg water, let it stand for about 20 minutes, brush another layer of egg water, put it in a preheated 180 degree oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.

Step 9: roll a large piece of dough to make the base of the gingerbread house. After the same operation, bake it in a 180 degree oven for about 12-15 minutes.

Step 10: make protein icing: mix the protein and sugar powder, add lemon juice, and then continue to beat. (the icing can be made less according to the ratio, and it can be made when it is not enough. The icing for bonding needs to be thicker and more powdered sugar, and the sugar phase for brushing the roof needs to be thinner and more lemon juice).

Step 11: the baked biscuits can be assembled after they are cool. First, assemble and fix the bottom of the gingerbread house with sticky icing. Wait until the bottom of the house is dry, and then put up the roof and small door.

Step 12: after the house is built, brush a little thin icing on the roof. When the thin icing is dry, then use a little thick icing box for simple decoration.

Materials required:

Yishite Gingerbread premix powder: 350g

Honey: 85g

Egg: 50g

Water: 20g

Powdered sugar: 150g

Precautions: 1. Gingerbread house can be designed according to the room type you like. If you also want to use the pictures in Junzhi's blog, it is suggested that you copy them a little larger, measure the size with the size first, and then start making. If the size is too small, it will be difficult to operate. 2. When I cut the face according to the drawing, I used the art knife first, and then I used the larger knife. The cutting method is better than cutting, and the face is not easy to deform. 3. The production of frosting is very simple, so don't mix too much at one time, just mix a little, thick and thin is easy to master. 4. I made two small gingerbread houses and some biscuits. 5. The gingerbread dough must be relaxed for a while before baking, otherwise it will be easy to deform and it will be difficult to assemble the unevenly baked parts. 6. When assembling the bottom of gingerbread house, you should wait until the frost is dry and the base is firm before building the roof. It's best to hold it for a while.
