Zwieback is a kind of sweetened bread, usually fortified with eggs. It is initially baked as a loaf and then sliced and toasted forming a crisp biscuit or rusk. Its name is derived from 19th century German and is translated as twice bake.
Due to its long storage life it has been a fundamental food for seafaring and the military.
Russian Mennonite zwieback is a bread roll formed from two pieces of dough that are pulled apart when eaten.Template:Food-stub
