How to cook gingerbread?

You will need a preheated oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and before putting the dough in the oven grease loaf pan with cooking spray. Take a large bowl and add combine flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, allspice and salt. With an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy and add beaten eggs and vanilla extract. Take a smaller bowl and whisk molasses and hot water until combined.
