Zwieback, Rusks Or Twice-Baked Bread

Cooking Instructions

Bake: White Bread Plus, page 603

using in all 2 eggs. Replace the 2 cups of water with 2 cups of milk. The finished loaf should be just half as high as a normal loaf of bread, so bake in six rather than three pans. Maybe this shape was evolved to suit baby mouths, for no one enjoys this confection more than the very, very young. When the bread is cool, cut it into 1/2-inch slices and toast as for Melba Toast, above. You may want to glaze it before toasting with: Lemon Glaze1

In the slow heat of the oven, this turns a golden brown.
