Notes

1. Sugar added in these rusk is very low because these are the bakery rusks and not cake rusks, which are supposed to be sweet. However if you feel it on a lower side, you can add more as per your choice. 
2. Instead of whole wheat flour, you can add all purpose flour also.
3. For giving a wash to the dough, you can also use eggs in place of milk.
4. For a good textured rusks, cut the suji bread only when it turns completely cool.
5. As every oven is different, so keep  eyes on rusks while baking, especially at the last stage when they are being baked at high temperature for getting nice golden brown color. Otherwise they may get burnt and all your hard work will go fruitless.
