Gingerbread with icing: homemade recipe

Gingerbread traditions

The art of gingerbread baking is several hundred years old. Even in Medieval Europe, special fairs were held where, in addition to ginger and other spices, real masterpieces made from ginger dough were sold. These were houses, castles, figures of kings and queens, hearts and mills and much more.

The more richly decorated they were, gingerbread was considered more expensive. The most expensive specimens were painted with gold paints and decorated with beads. A fairy-tale gingerbread house with a mountain of powdered sugar was considered a special gift. Baking dough recipes were strictly kept in the baker's family, but today they are available to every housewife, and even a novice cook can handle some of them.

Tula gingerbread

You can prepare another version of fragrant homemade gingerbread cookies using the following recipe:

Gingerbread cookies are prepared using choux pastry. To do this, melt butter (75 g), sugar and honey (150 g each), 2 eggs beaten with a fork, soda, cinnamon (1 tsp each) and other spices to taste in a water bath.
Flour (400 g) is gradually sifted. The dough is first kneaded with a spatula directly in a water bath, and then laid out on the table. If necessary, up to 100 g of flour is added to it.
The dough is divided into 2 equal parts. First, the first one is rolled out to a thickness of 0.5 cm, after which the filling is laid out on it. The second half of the dough is then rolled out in a similar manner and used to cover the filling.
The edges are carefully pinched.
The gingerbread is baked for 45 minutes at 180°. The hot product is covered with sugar syrup.

Secrets of working with ginger dough

A few points from the list of rules when working with ginger dough and finished products will allow you to avoid mistakes and achieve the desired result even with your first experience.

Any gingerbread dough should rest for several hours before shaping. This is done so that the spices included in its composition gain strength, the sugar dissolves completely, and the consistency of the dough becomes smooth and homogeneous.
You can cut out figures from the dough directly on a baking sheet so that when moving from the table they do not lose their shape or break, since the dough for gingerbread is softer than for cookies.
It is necessary to leave space between the shapes on the baking sheet, as they increase in size during cooking.
The baking time is individual for each recipe, but after the gingerbread cookies are removed from the oven, they should cool. Experts recommend giving them a day and only then start decorating.
If the figures lose their shape during cooking, they can be carefully straightened with a sharp knife after they have cooled completely.
If a recipe contains a large number of spices among the ingredients, they must be thoroughly crushed in a mortar or mill, sifted and only then added to the dough.
Gingerbread cookies are soft, so after they are removed from the oven, they are laid out on a flat surface to cool completely. A thick dish or a large bottom will do.

Delicious gingerbread with plum jam

Products prepared according to the following recipe definitely cannot be called dry. And all because inside the gingerbread there is a juicy filling in the form of plum jam. Children will definitely love this dessert. And adults won’t refuse to enjoy home-made gingerbread (pictured). The recipe for the products is as follows:

In a dry bowl, beat 2 yolks with a mixer and sugar (200 g). Kefir is gradually added. The mass is thoroughly mixed until the grains dissolve.
Separately, flour (600 g) is sifted with baking powder (0.5 tsp) and the same amount of soda. If desired, vanilla sugar (1 tbsp), nutmeg (1 tsp) and cocoa (2 tbsp) are added to the dough.
The dough is rolled out to a thickness of 5 mm. Using a glass, circles are made. Jam is placed in the center of each of them. The edges of the circle are pinched together like a dumpling, after which the product is rolled into a ball.
The preparations are laid out on a baking sheet and sent to a preheated oven (190°) for literally 12 minutes. After cooling, the finished products are coated with glaze.

Custard gingerbread

Culinary experts say that real gingerbread should be prepared only from choux pastry based on honey, and vodka or cognac should be used as a leavening agent.

The choux pastry is elastic, slightly viscous and easy to work with.

You need to make the dough slowly, kneading it thoroughly; this procedure can take up to half an hour, but this makes the baked goods softer, fluffier and tastier.

Ingredients for choux pastry:

700 grams of flour;
4 tbsp. l. ground ginger;
2 tsp. vodka;
4 tbsp. l. liquid honey;
2 eggs;
300 grams of butter;
the same amount of sugar;
1 tsp. ground cloves;
2 tbsp. l. cinnamon.

Honey, sugar and butter are dissolved in a saucepan over a water bath. Add eggs, spices, vodka to the cooled mixture, gradually add flour, if the dough does not set well, you can add a little cold water. Knead everything very thoroughly with your hands, achieving uniformity and elasticity. Place the dough in cellophane in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Next, roll out a layer 4 mm thick, cut out figures or parts for structures, and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. Decor made from natural sugar glaze with an openwork pattern is suitable for custard figurines. You can make it from powdered sugar and lemon juice. You can read about how to paint gingerbread here.

Choosing the ingredients

Premium flour is suitable for any sweet baked goods It is of the finest grind, so the dough from it turns out to be the most tender.
Honey is the main ingredient of this dish; the aroma of gingerbread depends on its taste. It should be sweet, but not cloying. If the product is too sweet, it means it is either diluted with sugar, or the beekeeper fed his bees with sugar syrup. Honey remains liquid for a little over a month, then it begins to crystallize. Therefore, in winter there cannot be natural liquid honey.

When you choose spices, pay attention to the expiration date. When you print out the bag, look for any lumps in the ground spices. If there is, it means they were stored at the wrong humidity and temperature. A high-quality product should be crumbly, without foreign inclusions.

The butter in this recipe can be replaced with margarine. When choosing it, also look at the product labeling.
When choosing cocoa powder, the right scent plays an important role. It should have a chocolate aroma without any extraneous notes. If the cocoa has no odor, then the product is definitely expired.
Powdered sugar is very easy to choose; as a rule, it is not counterfeited or added with foreign impurities. But you still need to inspect the packaging to ensure there are no tears or damage. If the powder has been in contact with air, it may have lumps. And there is a high probability that it will be saturated with the smell of the store or warehouse where it was stored.

When planning to make a new dessert for Christmas, some will think about its benefits and calorie content. Above are baking recipes based on natural products.
