How to make vegan gingerbread dough
Make our simple vegan gingerbread dough for Christmas, or as a treat whenever you fancy. This recipe is a replica of our gingerbread dough, with different fat used. Once you've made the gingerbread dough, shape it into gingerbread people and get the kids to help decorate them with icing.
How to Store Gingerbread Dough:
- You can keep unbaked biscuit/cookie dough in your fridge for up to 3 days before baking or freeze for a month. Tightly wrap the dough in clingfilm when storing in these conditions.
- When it’s time to make your gingerbread biscuits remove the dough from the freezer and leave to defrost for 3-4 hours until it is soft enough to roll out. You can use this dough in any of our gingerbread recipes.
Method
Step 1:
Place the butter and muscovado sugar in a medium saucepan and heat gently until the butter has melted and the sugar dissolved. Stir until the mixture blends together, but do not boil.
Step 2:
Take the saucepan off the heat and sieve in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and ginger and beat the mixture together, then add the golden syrup and beat until smooth.
Step 3:
Turn the mixture out onto some cling film and pat into a flat ball, wrap tightly and chill for 30 minutes then place in the freezer until you are ready to use it.

Recipe Reviews
Super easy and taste lovely
I've made it! Delicious!! Can let them few days to get moist or you can add any Christmasy spice you like!
Thanks for recipe!
what temperature do I cook on
We would recommend baking your gingerbread at 190c (gas mark 5) then length of time that you would bake this for depends on the size of your biscuits. As a general guide gingerbread men would take between 10-12 minutes to bake. If you prefer a slightly softer gingerbread biscuit cook for a little less time
Does not say how long to bake

How do you cook it?!?!
You can use any of our gingerbread recipe for baking time and temperatures, these will vary depending on what you are baking with your dough for example, a gingerbread house will bake for a different length to gingerbread men. Explore our recipes here Gingerbread Biscuits | Baking Mad
