70 g ground nuts
70 g of honey – high quality from Czech producers
1 egg
2 tablespoons of oil – high-quality vegetable oil

First, preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Prepare baking sheets and line them with baking paper.
Sift the rye and spelled flour.
Add nuts, honey, eggs, oil and gingerbread spices to the flour mixture.
Process the entire mixture into a smooth dough so that it does not stick and place it in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
The next day, roll out the Christmas gingerbread dough and start cutting.
Before putting the gingerbread in the oven, brush it with a beaten egg yolk or melted high-quality dark chocolate.
Bake at 180°C for about 5-6 minutes.
