A Beautiful Gingerbread House From Scratch

That was amazing! Thanks for inviting me into your kitchen for the holidays. The powered sugar at the end was the perfect last touch, even though I didn't think it could be any better. Thanks again Happy Holidays to you and your family. Sincerely Dawn

[@jamesbarry2388]

How did you secure the top before you put the roof on?

[@cookingpolish]

With royal icing, just like the rest of it. Not too much so it doesn’t get squeezed out by the weight of the roof. Although if it does, you can always mask the imperfections with icicles letter.

Honey works just as well. The color of the gingerbread may turn out a bit lighter but the consistency remains the same. Happy baking!

[@irina_march3777]

Hello! The house is fantastic, you did a great job! I have one question though, what kind of molasses did you use? Was it the corn one? Thank you!

[@cookingpolish]

I use sugarcane unsulphured molasses. My favorite brand is Grandma’s. When I lived in Poland I used sugar beet molasses or honey.

[@cookingpolish]

Honey. Use the same amount. It will turn out slightly lighter in color but it works really well in terms of texture and flavor. 👍

[@cookiechris5061]

@@cookingpolish Thank you! Happy holidays!🎄❄️☃️

[@glimmrgirl]

Question: I don’t have chocolate fondant for the base. My base is white so I think it will look okay- especially with powdered sugar on top. But will the icing stick to the base?

[@cookingpolish]

You should be fine. Another thing you could do is spread a thin layer of royal icing all over your base with an off-set spatula. Let it dry completely. Then glue your gingerbread walls to that surface. Good luck!

[@glimmrgirl]

@@cookingpolish brilliant! I’ll do that. Thank you! 😄

[@sinemozdamar813]

do you have a sketch of the house you are building, can you share it please?

[@unclelink]

The excess dough that was cut off when making the walls, what happened to them? Were they tossed or reused elsewhere?

[@cookingpolish]

Reused to make other elements

[@orbitaldumpsterfire]

Oh my goodness this is lovely! How many batches of dough did you use for this recipe? I drew up a template for a house that looks like it's a similar size, and I'm trying to figure out how much I need to make 🙂.

[@cookingpolish]

I’m not entirely sure… hmmmm….I made two double batches first, I think that took care of the walls for the most part. Then I made another double batch for the roof and fencing. I didn’t make all the dough at once because my fridge was too full. Lol

[@kellyscott2366]

Hi, how thin do you roll the dough out? I have made my custom templates and really excited to start!

[@cookingpolish]

How exciting! Mine is a bit less than 1/4". 4mm. Good luck! 😃

[@Житьинтересно-й7р]

how many milliliters are in your cup in the recipe?

[@cookingpolish]

250

[@nataliazieba2711]

Is there anything I can use instead of molasses?

[@cookingpolish]

Honey. Same amount 👍

[@4-kathryn]

I followed a vegan recipe and uncooked dough doesn't seem as dry as you'res. I added 1/4 cup a/p flour extra and still not much change. I hope if it's in the fridge it'll be less sticky.

[@cookingpolish]

Sorry, I don’t know much about vegan baking. I can only help troubleshoot if I tried the recipe myself. Good luck!👍

[@charlesgoodman9976]

About how long does it take for the windows to fully set? :)

[@cookingpolish]

I leave them for 2-3 hours. They are probably ready sooner than that as my marble counter is quite cool. But better safe than sorry 😉

[@lillypintaro1356]

can i have the template you used?

[@Daniel-rv2kd]

How do you get the dusting flour that you use to prevent sticking off of the dough @ 3:50 --> 3:51 ? I made a gingerbread house and left on the dusting flour which made the final product look chalky.

[@cookingpolish]

Hmm…Did you use my dough recipe? I never had this issue. If you dust too much then the dough won’t absorb all the extra flour which may make it look dusty or chalky. Here’s how I would proactively try to avoid dusting too much, if my dough was too sticky. I think it’s likely that your kitchen is warmer than mine or perhaps the dough not chilled enough…1. Chill the dough overnight and keep it in the fridge. Don’t bring the entire thing back to room temp. Just the chunk you need. The rest stays in the fridge 2. Roll it out on the silicone mat or parchment you will use for baking the piece. Since you don’t need to move it to another surface you don’t need to use a lot of flour. It doesn’t matter if it sticks to the bottom. 3. If your kitchen is still too warm to roll out and cut the chilled dough in one step without using a ton of flour, try rolling out a big sheet of dough first, chill it for 20min, then cut out the shapes right before baking. I hope this helps. 😄 happy baking!

[@Daniel-rv2kd]

@@cookingpolish Thanks for the response and the helpful tips! I used another dough recipe...It had good strength after baking but stuck a bit so I was trying to watch different videos to see what I could change. Going over what you said my kitchen may have been too warm and I also let my dough get to room temp. I'll have to try this advice next time. 😁
