We are using this recipe without a stand mixer. We used our hands and plastic gloves to mix the dough.
Here is a gingerbread house template to download. We are not going to place an entryway front porch on the house.
I wrapped the dough in plastic wrap and will roll it in same. This prevents the need for flouring a surface and the roller. Here is an example of this method.
Tomorrow we roll it out, cut, and bake. I'll update soon!
Rolled out the dough, baked, and put together tonight.
A few issues: not rolling the dough out evenly and getting the house to stay together while the icing dried.
Next time we'll add toothpicks to the edges. It was tough to get the pieces to stay together while the royal icing dried.
Don't laugh, a little kid put this together, and the icing bag broke, and some candy had to be removed because the roof was sliding off. In the end, it had to be eaten, so there was no waiting for more icing or decorations. Most importantly, it tasted very good!
