180g of plain flour, sifted
180g of honey
70g butter
2.5 teaspoons of gingerbread spices
2g of baking powder
7g of baking soda
80g whole milk
70g of soft brown sugar
Pinch of salt
Method
Preheat oven to 160 Deg C
Gently warm the honey, milk, and butter in a pan.
Thoroughly sift the flour, yeasts and spices.
Add the brown sugar.
Mix all together.
Line a loaf tin with butter and flour and pour the mix in.
Cook for one hour – you may need to cover the loaf with baking paper towards the end of cooking to prevent the loaf from becoming too brown.
Optional: You can add candied orange pieces to the dough or place on the gingerbread before baking for extra zing.
