The history of Tula gingerbread

The renowned Tula gingerbreads are more than 320 years old (firstly mentioned in chronicles in 1685), are well-known all-round the world, and are prepared only in the city of Tula! Masters baked gingerbreads using their own unique recipes, which where kept in a big secret and passed solely from father to son. None of the bakers ever used weights with scales written on them, so that the “spies” could not find out, how much flour, honey etc. is needed. The bakers used alternative weights — small stones, pieces of iron, which where kept safely in a secluded place, so that, God forbid, no one could ever find them, weight them and learn the recipe.

IN 1900 TULA GINGERBREADES SHOCKED THE WORLD AT THE INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION IN PARIS. IN THE YEAR 1915, TULA GINGERBREAD EARNS AGAIN A PRIZED POSITION IN PARIS.

Tula gingerbread can have imprints on them. First, a special board is prepared, to give it a shape. It is made out of birch, which needs to ripen from five to twenty years. Once the board gets dry enough, the pattern gets carved mirror-wise.

This way the Tula gingerbread baking forms were made. In case the form was used only once, you could consider the gingerbread to be unique. The carving themes are highly variable.

Flour, made of wheat growing exclusively around Tula, has certain properties giving an inherent only for Tula gingerbread structure, clarity of the carvings and the ability to keep it's form in the process of baking.

TULA REGION SINCE OLDEN TIMES WAS RENOWNED FOR ITS FRUIT AND BERRY GARDENS. NAMELY OUT OF THESE APPLES AND BERRIES THE FILLINGS WERE MADE. THEREFORE USING JAMS AND CONFITURES MADE OF TULA PROVINCE'S FRUITS AND BERRIES, IS ONE OF THE REASONS FOR TULA GINGERBREAD'S UNIQUE TASTE AND SMELL.
