zwieback
Crisp teething biscuit
Zwieback is a type of crisp, sweetened bread that has been baked twice to dry it out, making it light and crunchy.
The name comes from German meaning "twice baked." It's traditionally given to teething infants because it softens slowly when gummed, and is also eaten as a light breakfast bread or with tea: The baby gnawed contentedly on a piece of zwieback.
