Homemade rusks are crunchy, double-baked bread snacks popular in various cuisines, including Mediterranean and South African traditions. Typically made from simple ingredients like flour, water, yeast, and sometimes sugar and spices, they achieve their distinctive texture through an initial baking followed by slow drying in the oven. These bite-sized treats are often enjoyed with coffee or tea and serve as a versatile item that can range from sweet to savory. Their high-fiber content, especially when made with whole-grain flour, offers digestive benefits, and their prolonged shelf life makes them a convenient option for snacking. However, some recipes may include added sugars or use refined flour, which can reduce their nutritional value. By customizing ingredients to include seeds, nuts, or alternative sweeteners, homemade rusks can be tailored into a wholesome, satisfying snack rooted in tradition.
