One of the Italians' favorite breakfasts is precisely the one withrusks, square-shaped slices of bread which have the particularity to be cooked twice in the oven, as the name itself suggests "bi-scottate". They usually do not have a too sweet or salty taste and can be consumed as abreakfast or as a snack combined with || |157marmellata, butter, honey or chocolate spread.
The history of rusks
Do you know that these delights were invented by || |163comunità mennonita Prussian during the 19th century? This very orthodox Christian community professes a return to its origins by spreading a lifestyle based on poverty and charity. In fact, the idea of baking bread twice came from the need toavoid waste and to create aproduct that had along preservation.
Another little anecdote that we can tell you concerns the custom inPiedmont of making the so-called “health biscuit” around the early years of thetwentieth century. This closely resembled modern rusks as it could be cut into more or less thin slices and contained rich ingredients such as honey, butter, eggs, milk. The nickname “of health” came not so much from the fact that it was healthy according to modern dietary standards, but because it was ahigh-calorie product|| |181 che in tempi di “magra” veniva considerato un lusso.
