What is a rusk?
A rusk is a twice-baked bread that originated in medieval Europe. It is also known as a zwieback or Christmas cake. The word “rusk” comes from the Old French word rousc, which means “reduce” or “dry out.” This refers to the second baking of the bread, which gives it its characteristic hard and dry texture.
Rusks were originally made as a way to extend the shelf life of bread. By drying out the bread, it was less likely to spoil. Today, rusks are made for their taste and texture, rather than for their longevity. The best selling bakeries uses only the finest ingredients and bakes each batch by hand.
