How to Make Swedish Country Inn's Rusks

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine the lukewarm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool completely in the pan.
Once cooled, use a serrated knife to cut the bread into 1-inch thick slices.
Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Brush the top of each slice with 1/4 cup of milk
Bake for another 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and completely dry.
Let the rusks cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
