What it is

Tula gingerbread is Russia's most celebrated pryanik, baked in the city of Tula since the seventeenth century and stamped with a carved wooden board that leaves its signature raised pattern. This one comes from the Yasnaya Polyana confectionery factory, named after Tolstoy's estate just outside the city. Soft honey dough encloses a bright apple-fruit filling, finished with a thin sugar glaze. Small enough for a lunchbox, generous enough to cut into wedges alongside a pot of tea.

Ingredients

Wheat flour, sugar, fruit filling (fruit purée (apples, preservative: sulphur dioxide), sugar, treacle, acidity regulator: citric acid), egg melange, margarine, natural honey, drinking water, raising agents (ammonium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate), flavouring, acidity regulator: citric acid.
