Скачать или смотреть How To Make Gingerbread Dough

Welcome to The Gingerbread Company. In this video we start with making the gingerbread dough, using a recipe that my mother has employed in her gingerbread creation for many years. It's an easy recipe to follow and it's not hard to make - we're not making pastry here, people. As long as it is well mixed it'll do the trick!

Gingerbread House Dough Recipe

1 cup Butter, room temperature
1 ½ cups Brown Sugar, packed
1 cup Molasses, room temperature (see note below)
2 large eggs
4 ¾ cups All-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Salt
3 tsp. Ground Ginger
1 ½ tsp. Ground Cinnamon
½ tsp. Ground Cloves

**note on molasses – there are two types of molasses – ‘fancy’ and ‘blackstrap’. The type used here is a mixture of the two called, ‘cooking molasses’. Blackstrap molasses can be quite bitter and has a strong flavour. My preference is for the cooking molasses, but you can go with either all fancy or blackstrap, depending on your preference. Quantities will stay the same.

Technique:

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add molasses and eggs, mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, blend dry ingredients. Add, 1/3 at a time to the wet ingredients. Combine well.

Turn the dough out on to a piece of plastic wrap. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.

Bring to room temperature before rolling out the dough. At least one hour.
