Assembly

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C), and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. Roll dough on a lightly floured surface(about ¼” thick).
3. Using gingerbread house stencil cut pieces out and carefully place onto pan. Use a pallet knife to help reshape and move cut outs to parchment lined cookie sheet. Cut out pieces need to be as straight as possible (this will help with assembly).
4. Bake in preheated oven. Times vary depending on size.
5. The door and chimney pieces take 7 minutes to bake.
6. The back, front, sides and roof pieces take 14 - 17 minutes (times may vary depending how thick or thin your pieces are).
7. Cool for 10 minutes and remove from pan. Assemble with royal icing and decorate with your favourite gluten-free candies.
