Mennonite Zwieback

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].
