rusks

Twice-baked bread slices

Rusks are dry, crisp pieces of twice-baked bread, traditionally given to teething infants or eaten as a light food by invalids.

The double baking removes moisture, making them hard and shelf-stable.

In some countries, rusks are a breakfast staple, dunked in coffee or tea to soften them: She crumbled a rusk into the baby's bowl.
