In the past, housewives used to prepare the dough for traditional, old Polish Christmas gingerbread as early as the beginning of November, so that it would have time to mature. It’s a bit too late for that just before Christmas, but don’t worry – you’ll easily find plenty of recipes for slightly more modern versions of this specialty that can be prepared even the day before Christmas Eve. Also, think about other baked goods that are hard to imagine Christmas without, such as charming gingerbread cookies decorated with icing for the Christmas tree, poppy seed strudel, fruitcake, or cheesecake.
