Homemade Wholemeal teething rusks

Instead of buying prepackaged teething rusks here is an alternative!

My lovely friend Jane passed on this idea, thanks.

What you need: is 5 slices wholemeal bread (stale is best)
What you need to do is: firstly remove crusts
cut bread into fingers
put bread fingers on a baking tray and into the oven at 125°c for 1 hour or until rusks are hard and dry
Allow to cool and store rusks in a air tight container....

If you have any other ideas for rusks or other children's recipes please send me a email and I will post it on the blog and credited or linked to you.
