To make the dough, simply mix all the ingredients except the icing and knead until a smooth dough forms. There’s nothing special to observe. Let the dough rest for about 24 hours in a cold place (e.g., the refrigerator). Before baking the next day, be sure to preheat the oven to 180°C fan/convection oven. Knead the dough again briefly and roll out with plenty of flour to about 0.5 centimeters thick. Use cookie cutters, ideally dinosaur cutters, to cut out the figures. Bake the figures for 10 minutes. The figures will still be very soft when removed from the oven, but they will harden a little as they cool. If you prefer firmer gingerbread, simply leave the dough in the oven a little longer. Let the figures cool for half an hour and then decorate with icing as desired. The dough is enough for about three dinosaur baking trays.
