Baking Lebkuchen

  After posting Lebkuchen are Done! yesterday, I received several inquiries about the uneven baking in a tin kitchen.  This picture shows the four lebkuchen in the center are near perfect doneness by my turning the baking sheet during the baking process.  The lebkuchen on the ends receive the extra heat reflected by the sides.  You can see two somewhat misshapen from my turning the individual lebkuchen to prevent excessive browning but the effect still shows.
