Adıyaman rusk is a traditional hard bread made by baking bread dough, slicing it, and baking the slices again until dry. The second bake gives it a crisp texture and helps it keep longer than fresh bread.
You can eat Adıyaman rusk plain or dip it briefly in tea, milk, or soup to soften it. It also works with cheese, olives, or other breakfast foods.
Adıyaman rusk is typically made from a simple bread dough of flour, water, yeast, and salt, then baked twice. Some versions include sesame, so ingredients can vary between recipes and producers.

Adıyaman rusk is a regional hard bread from Adıyaman in southeastern Turkey. A flour-based loaf is baked, sliced and baked again, leaving it dry and crisp; the second bake also helps it keep well. Across Turkey, peksimet is served in different local forms, but this version is associated with Adıyaman.
It is commonly eaten at breakfast or with tea, and can be dipped into soup to soften it. Its dry, grain-based nature makes it energy- and carbohydrate-dense, with relatively little fat; 100 g provides 392 kcal. Pair a piece with cheese, olives or fresh vegetables for a more rounded snack, and have tea or water alongside if you prefer a softer bite.
