How to make a gingerbread house from honey dough with your hands

Choux honey dough for gingerbread is better to prepare in advance and save in the fridge or freezer. If it was stored in the freezer, you should remove it ahead of time and defrost in the refrigerator. I note that the dough for the cakes should be chilled when working with him. Therefore, it is better to cut into two parts. On the one - to work, and the second - even standing in the refrigerator.

The first thing you need to decide the size of the house. My walls are dimensioned as shown on the template to the photo. Template size you want, draw and cut out in advance.

The top wall - 8, 5 cm, bottom - 7, 5 cm, lateral parts - 7, 5 cm protrusion roof -.. 6 6cm We need two parts with a roof and two - without it. Roof cut a rectangle measuring 7 to 9 cm rectangles such need -. Two pieces. As I said, all the parts of the house need to draw on paper, and then, in their contour cut part of the test. Now, roll out the dough into a thin layer (thickness of about five millimeters) and cut all the details.

I have a test portion was enough for two houses, the foundation under the house and Christmas trees. Therefore, if you are thinking of doing one house, the size can take more. Or from one dough portion can still bake cakes.

From the walls of the house cut out the doors and windows for decoration.

Baking parchment sent away. Lay out of the house.

Bake at 175 degrees for about 10-15 minutes.

Remove from the oven detail of the house, is not removed from the parchment immediately. The dough is still soft and easily deformed. Let it cool down a bit.

So, to bake all the details for the house and details of decoration in the form of Christmas trees, fences, doors, pipes for the roof, and so on. It all depends on the imagination.

I chose green and red. Green, however, turned pale light green, but it's all because of the dye. ???? It remains a good mix protein and blue decorated house, Christmas trees and other gingerbread colored icing.
