A usually sweetened bread baked first as a loaf and later cut into slices and toasted.
[German : zwie-, twice (from Middle High German zwi-, from Old High German) + backen, to bake (from Middle High German, from Old High German bahhan, backan).]
German name for twice-baked bread or rusk. Ordinary dough plus eggs and butter, baked, sliced, baked again to a rusk, and sometimes sugar-coated.
[ZWI-bak; ZWI-bahk; SWI-bak; SWI-bahk] This German word translates to "twice baked" and refers to bread that is baked, cut into slices and then returned to the oven until very crisp and dry. Zwieback, which has a hint of sweetness to it, is popular for its digestibility and is often served to younger children or to people who have digestive problems. It is commercially available in most stores. See also rusk.
Russian Mennonite zwieback is a bread roll formed from two pieces of dough that are pulled apart when eaten. Placing the two balls of dough one on top of the other so that the top one does not fall off during the baking process is part of the art and challenge that must be mastered by the baker. Traditionally, zwieback are baked Saturday and eaten Sunday morning and for afternoon Faspa. Roasted zwieback will last indefinitely and was used for food supplies on journeys [1].
