Rusk

A rusk is a type of bread or roll that has been baked and then dried or toasted until it reaches a hard, crispy texture. Thanks to its low moisture content, it has a long shelf life. Rusks are made from various types of flour, including wheat, rye, and wholegrain varieties. In the kitchen, they are commonly enjoyed at breakfast with butter, jam, or cheese, and they also work well in soups where they soften when soaked. Crushed rusks can substitute breadcrumbs for coating or as a topping. In dessert making, they serve as a base for cheesecakes or tiramisu. Rusks are also popular in dietary eating plans, as they are easy to digest and gentle on the digestive system.
