Enjoy our gluten-free version of gingerbread. We've shaped it into stars for a Christmas treat that can be given as gifts, or used to decorate your tree

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Time 35m

Yield Makes 14-16

Number Of Ingredients 8

100g salted butter
3 tbsp golden syrup
100g dark muscovado sugar
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
1½ tbsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
225g gluten-free plain flour
50g icing sugar

Steps:

  • In a small pan heat the butter, syrup and sugar together until melted, stirring occasionally. Set to one side to cool slightly. In a large bowl mix together the bicarb, ginger, cinnamon and flour. Pour in the melted butter mixture and stir to combine and using your hands, bring together to form a dough. This will be soft but will set up in the fridge.
  • Take 2 sheets of greaseproof paper, lay the dough down on one, shape it into a rectangle and place the other sheet on top of it. Roll the dough out to 1/2 cm thick and put flat in the fridge for 1 hour to set and firm up.
  • Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and line a large baking tray with non-stick greaseproof paper. Take the rolled dough out of the fridge and cut out shapes from it. We did 9cm stars, but you can also choose any shape, depending on the size it will need a few mins less/more in the oven. We also did some with, smaller stars cut out the centre of them.
  • Meanwhile make the icing, combine the icing sugar with 1 - 2 tbsp water, until it's thick and pipeable but not thin enough that it will run. Decorate the cooled biscuits with whatever designs

Tips:

  • Use a light touch when mixing the dough. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the bread tough.
  • Don't overbake the bread. Gingerbread is best when it is slightly moist in the center. Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf; if it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will help the bread to set and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

This gluten-free gingerbread loaf is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holidays. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its warm and spicy flavor, this bread is sure to put you in the holiday spirit.
