Magenbrot

Magenbrot is a riff on Lebkuchen and is a favorite at fall and Christmas markets. I have an excellent Lebkuchen recipe, which I am happy to share, but the texture is not the same as Magenbrot. Do you speak German? This site has what looks like an excellent recipe: http://lamiacucina.wordpress...

It's interesting that that one uses a chocolate glaze. Reading through the comments (some of which get strangely poetic using Google Translate) I see that's a personal variation. I think I'll try his gingerbread, but might stick to a more traditional glaze the first time since we're trying to recreate remembered treats.

Many people glaze Lebkuchen with chocolate--as do bakeries. Even though I love chocolate, I always go for the powdered sugar-lemon glaze.
