Traditional Soft Gingerbread

Knead all ingredients into a smooth dough. Form it into a cylinder, lightly dust with flour, then wrap in cling film. Let it rest in the refrigerator overnight.

Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Let the rested dough warm up to room temperature. Then, on a lightly floured surface, roll it out to a thickness of 3–4 mm. Cut out desired shapes and place them on the baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in the preheated oven for approx. 8 minutes.
