Zwieback

Zwieback is a kind of sweetened bread, usually fortified with eggs. It is initially baked as a loaf and then sliced and toasted forming a crisp biscuit or rusk. Its name is derived from 19th century German and is translated as ‘twice bake’.

Russian Mennonite zwieback is a bread roll formed from two pieces of dough that are pulled apart when eaten.
