What is Rusk


What is Rusk
A rusk is a hard, dry biscuit or a twice-baked bread.
It is sometimes used as a baby teething food.
In the United Kingdom, the name also refers to a wheat-based food additive.
In India, Pakistan and South Africa, rusk (or toast biscuit) is a traditional dried bread (also "Khasta" in Hindi, "Katti Toos" in Bengali and beskuit in Afrikaans) that is eaten after having been dipped in coffee, tea, or rooibos 
tea.
Rusk is a raised bread, cracker, or cake that has been dried to a crisp and browned  either toasted in an oven or baked a second time after slicing. It can be plain or sweet. The best-known examples are the German Zweiback, the Italian biscotti, and the French biscotte. Technically, toast is a form of rusk, as long as it's been dried all the way through.
You can buy rusk in various forms at the supermarket.
