Gingerbread Dough Ingredients

Ingredients:

6 1/2 cups of white flour

1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour

1 1/2 cup brown sugar

2 tsp powdered ginger

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp salt

1 cup molasses

1 cup light corn syrup

1 1/4 cup margarine

Instructions:

Mix the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2 In a medium sized saucepan, heat the margarine, molasses and corn syrup over medium-high heat. Stir until the butter is melted and the ingredients are blended.

Step 3 Pour the melted mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spoon for a minute. Using your hands form all the dough into a large ball and knead it on a cutting board or countertop. The dough should feel firm and smooth, not crumbly.

Storing your gingerbread dough: If you don’t plan to bake all your house pieces at one time, store your dough in a gallon sized ziploc bag in the refrigerator.
