Christmas Gingerbread House biscuits can also build a house to give children Christmas surprise

Introduction:

"First, let's talk about the legend of gingerbread house: gingerbread house, also known as wishing house. 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 has become the material of fairy tales and has been made into gingerbread houses of various shapes. Americans have pushed the atmosphere of gingerbread houses to the extreme and become gingerbread houses that have been echoed all over the world. "

Production steps:

Step 1: in order to save trouble, the gingerbread house is directly made of gingerbread premixed powder with eggs and honey, but no Gingerbread premixed powder is OK. Let's give you the formula of gingerbread. If you want to do it yourself, you can try it yourself!

Step 2: Gingerbread dough preparation method from Jun Zhi teacher: Ingredients: low gluten flour 500g, butter 100g, water 60g, brown sugar 50g, sugar 100g, honey 70g, egg 50g, cinnamon 1 / 2 tsp (2.5ml), ginger 2 tsp (10ml);

Step 3: Method: 1. Pour all the ingredients of gingerbread into the bowl. 2. Mix well by hand to make dough. 3. At the beginning of kneading, the dough surface will be rough. Continue to knead patiently for a while until the dough is smooth. Put the kneaded dough in the refrigerator to relax for 1 hour

Step 4: first of all, design the drawings of the house you want to build, cut them down and keep them for use. If you want to make the house, you can draw one according to the drawings, and you can adjust the size according to your own needs. This is the drawing of the main room. If you only want to be the main room, and don't want to be the attached house on the right, you just need to make the two roofs the same, and you don't need to leave that gap!

Step 5: This is the drawing of the attached room. The attached roof needs to be cut in half!

Step 6: all the drawings!

Step 7: when it's ready, mix the flour with gingerbread, eggs and honey, pour them all into a large basin, knead them vigorously, until they don't stick to your hands, wrap them in plastic wrap, and put them in the refrigerator to relax for an hour.

Step 8: at this time to make egg water, egg 10 g and water 20 g mix, stirring can be very simple!

Step 9: put the loose dough on the chopping board and roll it into a thin sheet with a thickness of about 0.3cm. (if the chopping board is not big enough, divide the dough into several small portions and roll them in several times.).

Step 10: put the cut paper model on the surface and cut the pattern with a knife according to the edge of the model. Because my oven is relatively small, so I didn't cut it all at once. Which pieces do I bake and which pieces do I cut! Oven big friends, you can cut all the drawings at one time and bake them together!

Step 11: put the cut dough on the baking plate (try not to deform), prick some holes with fork (or not), brush a layer of egg water, let it rest for about 20 minutes, brush another layer of egg water, put it into the preheated oven, heat 180 degrees in the middle layer, and bake it for 12-18 minutes (depending on the size of biscuit), then take it out. Of course, if the time is tight, you can directly brush a layer of egg liquid into the oven, so baking out is OK, but not as good as the biscuit brush two layers of egg liquid test out good-looking, but must be pierced empty, otherwise the biscuit surface will bulge!

Step 12: make sure to bake all the "parts" one by one. Finally, you need to bake a large piece of dough as a base. Because I baked the biscuits in batches and only applied a layer of egg liquid, the biscuits I got were of different colors. Hehe, but because I want to decorate them again, the original color will cover them, so it doesn't matter!

Step 13: after the biscuits are baked and cooled, you can start assembling the gingerbread house. First make protein icing: mix the protein and sugar powder, add lemon juice, and continue to make protein icing. (this step is very simple, you don't have to use the electric egg beater, just use the manual egg beater.) the consistency of the prepared icing sugar can be adjusted freely according to the needs. For example, in my gingerbread house, the frosting used to glue the house should be thicker, so that you can add less lemon juice or more powdered sugar. The icing on the roof should be a little thinner, so you can add a little more lemon juice. Because it was late at night when the biscuit was baked, and the family were all asleep, so there were no photos for many steps below. I'm really sorry!

Step 14: start building on the base. First, assemble the bottom and glue the corresponding biscuit with icing as shown in the picture. And build a little house on the side. (because I pierced the tin foil when I pricked the hole, and the egg liquid of the brush seeped into the tin foil, so in some places, the tin foil was not completely removed, because I didn't plan to let my baby eat it, so I don't care! Hope perfectionists ignore it! hey!

Step 15: when the frosting is dry, start building the roof. By this time, the house had taken shape.

Step 16: decorate the house as you like, and sprinkle some powdered sugar on the whole house, and the dream house will be finished. There is no fixed mode and step, everyone according to their own preferences, free play, also can let the children to decorate!

Step 17: after finishing the house, I always feel that my gingerbread house is a bit monotonous!

Step 18: later I thought that there was no Santa Claus and snowman, so I made a Santa Claus and snowman with sugar, and found that there was no chimney! Where does Santa Claus go to give presents to the babies without a chimney? So fill another chimney with the rest of the biscuits!

Step 19: since I was a child, I was not good at manual lessons. I made Santa Claus and snowman. This is ~ ~ ~ ah! Don't say anything, I hope they don't blame me!

Step 20: OK, it's done. It's 3 a.m! But still very happy! Hope baby will be very happy to see it!

Step 21: put more

Step 22: one more

Note: Jun Zhi to be honest: before rolling, the gingerbread dough needs to relax for a while, otherwise it is easy to retract when rolling and carving shape with mold. Similarly, it's better to relax for a while before baking, otherwise it may be easy to deform. The surface of biscuits can also be free of egg water. The difference is that if you brush the egg water, there will be a layer of luster on the surface of biscuits. You should be patient when assembling the house. Especially for the roof, we must wait until the frost is dry to prevent the roof from falling down.
