STEP 1

The dough

To prepare the gingerbread dough, place the plain flour, almond flour, rye flour, baking soda and cubed butter into a food processor. Blend until you obtain a mixture with a sandlike texture. In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey and sugar until the sugar dissolves, then set aside. Transfer the flour and butter mixture into a bowl and add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, spices and the melted honey and sugar mixture. Mix until you obtain a smooth dough. Shape into a compact rectangle, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least three hours.
