Of cardboard you need to cut the blanks for the gingerbread house. You can find on the Internet ready-made templates or create their own model. Remove dough from refrigerator, roll it out, cut the desired shape for your house pattern. Bake the components of the house about 8-10 minutes at 180 degrees.
Freshly baked workpiece will first be soft, but then very quickly hardened.
To glue the parts of the house will be using caramel. For its preparation mix the sugar with water. Stirring, bring to a boil over medium heat. Continuing to stir, cook the sweet mixture to obtain a Golden color.
