Tulskiy Cherry Gingerbread, 140g

Tula pryanik, originating from the city of Tula, is a well-known variety of Russian imprinted pryanik. Typically, it takes the form of a rectangular tile or a flat figure, and the process of creating stamped pryanik is regarded as an art form. These imprints can feature various patterns, symbols, images of the Tula Kremlin, names, and congratulatory messages.

The preparation of Tula pryanik begins with making the dough, which is crafted from a mixture of rye flour, honey, eggs, water, and spices. The dough is then divided into pieces and rolled out. Each piece is carefully placed on a specialized board with a carved pattern to give the dough its intended shape. The first layer of dough is covered with a second layer, with a filling placed in between.
