I have been looking for a good Zwieback recipe for a long time & I can't wait to try this one. When I was a little girl in Pittsburgh there was a small bakery at the corner of our street called Jennie's which was owned by a Polish couple. She ran the store & her husband did all the baking. (I don't think in all the years we lived there I ever seen him. lol) On Saturdays they made & sold THE BEST Zwieback I have ever had. I remember my mother asking how it was made. Jennie told us they used unsold bread from the end of the week but her husband wouldn't tell exactly what he did with the bread. lol I guess he took his secret to the grave with him but the memory of his wonderful tasting Zwieback has never & will never leave me. I'm hoping your recipe bring back even a little of that childhood taste & aroma I remember so well. Lorna, I hope these come close - food memories are hard to match, but when they do - SO satisfying!
