6Step 1: Prepare the Dough

To make your gingerbread house, begin with a sturdy dough. Combine ingredients including all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, unsalted butter, brown sugar, molasses, and an egg.

Start by creaming the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl until fluffy. Blend in the molasses and egg. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients, then gradually incorporate them into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough into two portions, wrap them in plastic, and refrigerate for at least an hour to make it easier to handle.
