This has been how I've always run across them.  Bread, sliced into 
dunking-size slices and then baked until hard all the way through.  Good 
dunked in milk or coffee a la biscotti.

(My grandmother used to make them out of a Finnish cardamom coffee bread.  
Thanks, guys, now I'm going to have to go make some pulla.  :)  )
