hard bread
Dried out baguette
Hard bread is a dense, dry bread baked to last without spoiling—ship's biscuit, hardtack, or similar provisions meant for long voyages or military campaigns.
The lack of moisture prevents mold and extends shelf life indefinitely, though the result requires soaking or breaking to eat: Sailors dunked their hard bread in coffee to soften it.
