Ginger GableGingerbread village template
A village is several houses in different sizes. These three, 5 × 6, 4 × 4 and 3 × 4 inches, take about 4 lb of dough together at 1/4 inch. Tap each house to see and print its template.
Cut list
Side walls are two dough thicknesses shorter than the depth, so they fit between the front and back.

The three houses
| House | Walls and roof | Peak | Dough | Sheets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Large, 5 × 6 | 4″ walls, 45° | 6 1/2″ | 2 lb (940 g) | 4 |
| Middle, 4 × 4 | 3″ walls, 50° | 5 3/8″ | 1 1/4 lb (540 g) | 3 |
| Small, 3 × 4 | 2 1/2″ walls, 45° | 4″ | 13 oz (360 g) | 2 |
Together: 1,840 g, about 4 lb of dough rolled 1/4″ thick, on 9 sheets. Varied heights and roof pitches make a row of houses look like a street rather than copies.
Questions
How do I print all three?
Tap a house, press Print the template, then tap the next house and print again. Each printout is headed with its size.
Can I add more houses?
Yes. Type any size from 3 to 16 inches and add its dough to the total.
Can I use the same dough batch for all?
Weigh your batch: about 4 lb covers all three at 1/4″, trimmings included.
Print at "Actual size" on Letter paper and measure the 1-inch bar on each sheet before you cut. Pieces are plain walls and roof panels: cut doors and windows by hand.
