Oslo's funniest

Gingerbread town


Oslos gøyeste pepperkakeby er tilbake! Fjorårets utgave ble en braksuksess, og nå gjør vi det igjen. The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology, Åpent Bakeri og André Løvaas fra Bakermesterskapet inviterer deg til å skape Oslos nye juletradisjon.
Bygg og pynt ditt eget bidrag, og bli en del av pepperkakebyen som stilles ut i foajeen på museet. I fjor fikk vi alt fra eventyrlige tretopphytter og propellfly til elektriske villaer og den ikoniske blåtrikken. Vi gleder oss til å se hva dere lager i år – med inspirasjon fra Oslo og industrien langs Akerselva. Skakke tak, freaka påbygg og spinnvill pynt hører hjemme i vår by.

For the batter you need the following ingredients, cloves (11 g), a dash of ginger (12 g), cinnamon (12 g), sugar (480 g), a splash of water (30 g), velvety-soft whipped cream (180 g), delicious dark syrup (180 g), good eggs with sunny yellow yolks (62 g), melted butter (300 g), a little baking soda (4 g) and plenty of wheat flour (1 kg). Time for dough ↓

Mix water, heavy cream, dark syrup and eggs in your favorite baking dish. Then mix cloves, ginger, cinnamon and sugar together with the mixture you started with. Then heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until everything has melted. Slowly fold the hot butter into the mixture. Take a well-deserved break and cool the mixture to 30°C. Finally, mix the wheat flour with baking soda and stir in the flour little by little until you get a smooth and even dough. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator overnight. Bake at 180°C for eight minutes for delicious and crispy gingerbread cookies.
