Preheat oven to 400°F (200°). Cut crusts from bread. Roll each slice of bread into 1/8-inch (3 mm) thickness using a rolling pin. Trim to make straight edges.
Gingerbread Spice Mixture: Mix together cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves and nutmeg.
Whisk 1 tbsp (15 mL) spice mixture with melted butter; brush over bread slices. Place bread on parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until crisp.
“Glue” 4 slices of bread together with icing to form walls of house, then “glue” remaining two slices of bread with icing to form roof. Decorate with icing and candies.
