Production
Spice blend
Weigh out the coriander, pink pepper, thyme and ginger precisely and mix thoroughly.
Note: This spice blend is characterized by its balanced spices – the aromatic pink pepper is particularly noteworthy, giving the mixture a slightly fruity and distinctive note.
Cranberry jam
Bring the cranberry and sour cherry purée to the boil, add the pectin mixture and cook for another 30 seconds. Mix the sugar and juice thickener and add to the mixture. Store in the refrigerator overnight. Bring to the boil again for 1 minute, add the lemon juice and cook for another 2 minutes. Then store in a vacuum bag in the refrigerator.
Almond-cranberry filling
Mix all the ingredients in a Stephan mixer for about 5 minutes. Small pieces of almond may remain.
Wrap the filling in plastic and store in the refrigerator. Then roll out to 4 mm and cut to 51×29 cm, freeze briefly.
Gingerbread dough
Briefly mix all ingredients in a kneading machine. Wrap the dough in plastic and store in a cool, dark place until ready to use.
Note: The dough should be stored for at least 2 weeks before use.
Roll the dough three times with the roller 1 cm open before use.
Cutting the dough
Roll out the gingerbread dough to 2.7 mm and cut into 2 rectangles, also measuring 51×29 cm.
Baking preparation
Place the sliced almond-cranberry filling on the gingerbread and cover with the second gingerbread sheet. Cut into 4 pieces measuring 25×14 cm. Place on a baking tray lined with a Silpat mat and brush with milk.
Bake for about 35 minutes at 180°C.
Finishing
Brush with gum arabic immediately after baking.
When the gingerbread has cooled, decorate with egg white glaze.
