What is Adıyaman rusk?

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.
