Making Christmas Gingerbread Men a Tradition (even with a messy house) | a silent vlog
I would much rather keep our new Christmas tradition than clean the house today. Over the next 2 days we baked gingerbread cookies, made icing (twice), decorated our men, and ate them up. This video is as real as our house can be; dishes in the sink, a random grocery bag on the floor, boogery noses coming off a cold, lego cars, letting children -slowly- help in the kitchen, smudgy microwave, messy bun... did I mention we just got off of being sick for 4 weeks!?! 🤮🤒🤧 ⬅️ in this order, one at a time...through 4 kids! I'm glad we made our gingerbread men in our pre-Christmas mess. Do you have any Christmas traditions? Any that you would gladly do before cleaning house?
Forget the mess, let us make cookies, look
I remembered my apron and pulled out my book
Measure and pour
Ran out of molasses (I did this before)
had to scrape the jar, then drip drip from the paddle
what’s next?
Gingerbread spices and flour too
A helper has arrived, woohoo
Mix the ingredients, then put them away
Wash up and wipe down (I do this all day!)
Sprinkle water to soften, wrap up tight and cool
ignore the dishes, on to my favorite tool
Roll and cut, Into the oven then out again
Powdered sugar, syrup, water, and vanilla become
Icing!, But these baggies do not work, so dumb
back to chopsticks for us- drip, glob, spread
splatter, mix and pour on the gingerbread
let dry - enjoy

Every apartment and house I have lived in has always been "home" but this time is forever... with a backyard! What ...

It is!! Definitely one of my favorite breakfasts 😄
Good goals for the future. Remember to enjoy each step of the way. Life passes quickly. Little ones grow to fast. Have fun and joy each day!
Those gingerbread cookies look so festive and yummy. Lol about the injured one!
Wow! Well explained, right to the point! I think I could do this, I have a 5 1/2 quart and 6 quart Dutch oven, thank you! Your bread looks delicious.
You got this! The hardest part is remembering to mix it the night before, lol
Wow, that tastes simply delicious!😍👏 As a loyal fan and subscriber to your channel, I am regularly inspired by your recipe ideas. 💗💯I'm also really looking forward to your support with the @nami vlog.💯👍💜💜💜
Nice thanks for sharing
No problem, it is just too good not to share!!
It came out beautifully but 6 cups of flour for ONE loaf is extravagant.
😂 I suppose it could be extravagant. I buy flour in bulk, so I don't tend to notice how much 6 cups really is!! I'm so glad to hear it turned out though, thank you for sharing
Great video. I'm panicking and this helped.
I love that I could help! We decided to leave a day earlier than planned so we only have 3 more days!! 😳 Good luck on your move and remember to just stop and... breathe, every now and then 😉
Good luck with your new home, and indeed i hope its your last move(!)
Thank you for the well wishes, I couldn't believe it myself when I counted them all up!
I cannot wait to try your bread recipe, but I have a question about the warm water. What temperature should the water be? I have heard that if it's not warm enough, the yeast won't "bloom." If the water is too warm, the yeast will die. Is there a temperature range that I should aim for? Thank you!
That's true! Aim for between 95-105°F
If you put the loaf in a baggie wrap it in paper towels to absorb the moisture and it will not get soft
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks boo!!!
No problem, enjoy!
Just found your channel thank you .. we subcribed
So happy you found me 😊 what is something you'd like to see here?
@@house_of_cruz more abou the homeschooling kindergarden .. However ive watched all your videos now and i like all of them so its all intresting thank you
I would love to make this bread but I do not have a Dutch Oven and have no intention of buying one! Could someone please tell me the purpose of using one and would the recipe work without it?
The Dutch oven traps the moisture and bakes the inside of the loaf before you take the lid off and bake on that crunchy crust. You can try using an oven safe 5 qt pot with foil wrapped tightly as a lid, or try a round casserole dish with a lid. Let us know how it turns out!
You can use a casserole dish,a frying pan,check out Steve Artisan breads
Thank you 😊
So I made the dough yesterday (2/17) and just took it out to form and bake. It looked a lot like yours but it was very loose and would not form a ball, any ideas?
This can happen when there is too much liquid/ not enough flour. Did you bake it? I'd love to know how it turned out. I have miss counted and mixed up the measurements so many times using this recipe (I'll blame the kids) and it ALWAYS turns out! Just add some more flour to it while you are forming it and drop it in your Dutch oven, even if it doesn't hold shape, it should bake well.
@@house_of_cruz well I used a couple of bench scrapers and plopped it onto a piece of parchment and into the Dutch oven. It didn’t rise up as much but seemed edible.
How disappointing! It sounds like it could be your yeast. This recipe doesn't work with instant yeast, is it possible yours has expired or weakened?
It’s possible although I tested the yeast although I just realized I let it sit for closer to 24 hours (idiot)
That may be a bit too long 😆 I say try again and let me know how it turns out after letting it sit for 12-16 hours, I definitely want you to try how delicious this bread is
What kind of flour?
Regular all purpose!
Do you bread flour or unbleached white flour. This recipe seems large enough for 2 loaves of bread.
Just regular unbleached flour. This is a large loaf! I have a large(ish) Dutch oven so I needed to have a larger loaf so it wouldn't come out flat. If you have a smaller Dutch oven (3 qrt), you will need to halve the recipe.
I love bread flour, try both and see which one you like
How big is the dutch over, what quart size it?
You will want at least a 5 qt dutch oven. If you have a smaller size like a 3.5 qt, you can simply halve this recipe.
Can you write receipt in grams? Thanks
No problem! You will need 720 g flour, 21 g salt, 3.2 g yeast and 710 ml water. I can't wait for you to try it out, I hope you enjoy!
The food looks yummy! You also know the ingredients you are eating in your food. Good video.
So yummy, and fresh. Knowing what your are eating is such a great benefit of eating on a low budget!
There are some recipes very similar to this that call for a rest period of anywhere from 3-6 hours. Would that be sufficient for this recipe also?
No, that is not a long enough rise time, at least for this recipe. The key for a light loaf is: little yeast, long rise, and sticky dough. Remembering to mix it the night before is the HARDEST part!
Can you use starter instead of yeast, since it’s slow rise anyway?
I have not dived into sourdough breads...YET. I am sure someone here can help answer you, but if not I would love to know how it turns out if you do give it a try!
@@chrisblanc663you can use sourdough starter instead of yeast. I mixed it around 8 pm before work, peaked on it around 5 am and meant to put it in the fridge but forgot. I left it till that evening around 5 pm and it baked really nice. A little sour like sourdough but super soft! 😊
Does the dough stand overnight on the counter or in the fridge?
Right out on the counter
Thanks!
No problem! Don't forget to set a stick of butter out on the counter too, it makes spreading it on so much easier 😉

Hi! New subscriber! I found/bought a good as new used enameled dutch oven with the 85% reason being to make my home baked bread in it. I was so happy when that first loaf came out. I almost HURT myself eating so much! LOL The joy of fresh baked bread: it's real. And walking into a home that smells like bread baking: Heals many a woe. Highly Recommended! LOL
I am so happy you enjoyed it! We found our old cast iron dutch oven WITH lid at a second hand shop, definitely one of our best finds!
@@house_of_cruz LOL Your message made my day! I happily baked non-stop to have loaves for our Christmas party yesterday and everyone was buttering like crazy all day, even during the actual meal. No one ever met a fresh loaf of hot bread that they didn't like, including my 3 tall fellas and my soon to be daughter-in-law. Such fun! Happiest of Holidays - Safe and peaceful. And Thanks again.

That looks very yummy! I can't wait to try it myself.
It is worth the work!! 😉

Thank you! The only way is up, let's do this together 😁
@@house_of_cruz Welcome:) Hope you have also joined us☺ We look forward to your friendship🙏🙏
Good job, Lianne!
Thank you! I was pretty taken back when everything came together. But nothing can't be fixed or changed. I just hope this can touch someone else who needs to hear it! 🤞
I have a 5.5 quart dutch oven that I used. If yours is not marked like mine the formula to calculate capacity is (pi x radius squared) x height. divide this number by 57.75. If using a larger DO it may come out flatter because of the larger diameter, but should still be delicious. Let me know if you've used a different size and how it turned out!
I have a 6 qt Dutch oven - is it big enough for this recipe?
Yes that should work just fine! I believe mine is 5.5 quarts after doing some measurements.
If you have guests, don’t worry about any leftovers. This bread will be gone. I made this for some appetizer dips this Thanksgiving and everyone went crazy for it. As it was baking everyone kept commenting on how great it smelled. And everyone was really impressed when I took it out of the oven. They all said this was the best bread they ever had. Also, this was the first time I had ever made it. My wife asked “how long have you known how to do this?”
It's hard to believe how delicious this is, isn't it! I am so glad you were able to share this bread with everyone this Thanksgiving.
Ψαχνω να βρω ένα εύκολο ψωμάκι να φτιάξω ,το φτιάχνω όμως την δεύτερη η μέρα θριμματιζεται όταν πάω να το κόψω...οπόταν ψάχνω ένα ψωμί που να μη θρυμματίζεται .Τι φταίει δεν μπορώ να καταλάβω....ΕΧΩ ΑΛΛΑΞΕΙ ΑΛΕΥΡΑ ΚΑΙ ΤΟ ΙΔΙΟ παθαίνω...και φτιάχνω κ ψωμί με πολλά ζυμώματα και πάλι το ίδιο. Βλέπω όμως πως κ εσάς θυπριμματιζεται όταν βάλατε βούτυρο στο ψωμί... Τι φταίει άραγε;
That looks so yummy. When you cut it, it sounded so crunchy. Your little one is so adorable helping you mix up the dough. A future baker in the making. I can't wait to make one for my family. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! This bread is just so good, so easy, and so budget friendly that I had to share it 🥰
Great ideas. I know I have spent time looking for a particular item in several places where it could be. Having a specific place and being minimalistic would save me a lot of time.
I love knowing exactly where things are and am so pleased with where I have made it! What I love about the container concept is you don't have to be minimal per se, just a limit. And I would just drown in office and art supplies if I had no limit! 🫣
My most challenging area to keep uncluttered and functional has always been my office! Keeping a set space limits my items so I can keep only what I really need and automatically creates a minimal space that is easy to declutter.
What a good informative video. ❤
