Gingerbread pickled from cucumbers

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To cook simple lean gingerbread, you don't need a lot of time and a fairly modest set of products. For cooking, we will take cucumber brine, sugar, flour, soda, refined vegetable oil and spices to your taste – ground cloves, cinnamon, ginger, zest.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour the pickle from cucumbers into a container for kneading dough and pour spices and soda into it. Mix it so that the reaction of brine and soda takes place.

3. Step 3:

   

   Then pour sugar into the brine, continue stirring.

4. Step 4:

   

   After the sugar, add vegetable oil and beat a little with a fork or whisk.

5. Step 5:

   

   Next, we begin to pour the flour in portions and then knead.

6. Step 6:

   

   Do not pour out all the flour at once, add it gradually when kneading.

7. Step 7:

   

   When the dough becomes more dense, knead it by hand, leave a little flour for rolling out the dough.

9. Step 8:

   

   The kneaded gingerbread dough will be sticky, so it needs to be sprinkled with flour and only then rolled out. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin that is about 5-7 millimeters thick.

10. Step 9:

    

    Using molds, we cut out figures from the rolled dough.

11. Step 10:

    

    We spread the gingerbread dough figures on greased baking sheets, at the same time we warm up the oven to 190 degrees.

12. Step 11:

    

    Baking sheets with dough figures are placed in a hot oven.

13. Step 12:

    

    Bake gingerbread on pickle from cucumbers for 20 minutes, they should remain light, only slightly browned.

14. Step 13:

    

    We remove the ready-made gingerbread from the baking sheets, transfer it to a dish and serve it to tea. They cool down very quickly, so you can serve them right away. The cooled gingerbread should be stored in a closed container or bag so that they do not become stale and remain soft.
