Zwieback
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zwieback is a type of crispy, sweetened bread, made with eggs and baked twice. The second time it is baked it is sliced first, producing crispy, brittle slices that closely resemble melba toast.[1] Zwieback is commonly used to feed teething children.[1]
The name comes from German zwei, meaning "two", and backen, meaning "to bake".[2]
