Product of Greece Olympian Foods Rusks are a type of twice-baked bread or biscuit that originated in Western and Northern Europe. They are typically made from wheat flour, yeast, salt, and water. The dough is first shaped into small loaves, allowed to rise, and then baked until it becomes crisp and golden brown. After baking, the loaves are sliced into thin pieces and baked again until they are thoroughly dried out. This double-baking process gives rusks their characteristic crunchy texture.
