Step 3: Making the structure
Honey-based dough, Gingerbread dough, 20 almonds
House
Line an oven tray with paper. Roll out the honey-based dough into long strings which should be about 40 cm long and 1 1/2 cm wide. Place the strings into an oven tray leaving some space in between so that the strings will look like wooden logs in a chalet.
Bake at 200° for about 20/30 minutes.
Line two oven trays with paper. Leave some dough aside for the bricks, the doors and the windows. Roll out the rest of the dough into two 1 cm thick rectangles, a smaller one of about 25 x 15 cm which will be used for the roof and a bigger one, the size of an oven tray, which will be the base of our house.

Place them onto the oven trays and bake at 200° for about 12/18 minutes.
Use templates to cut out the house walls. Cut an extra front wall which you will use as an inside wall to strengthen the house structure.

Roll out some dough to 1/2 cm thick. Firstlly make 20 bricks for the two facades: cut dough into 2 x 1 cm rectangles and put an almond in the middle. Secondly make two doors and six window shutters (see templates for size), then the chimney and fencing. Place them onto an oven tray and bake at 200° for about 12/15 minutes.
Park
