Paximathia (Greek: παξιμάδια), also spelt paximadia (plural), or paximadi/paximathi (singular), is a hard bread of Greek origin, similar to rusk, that is prepared with whole wheat, chick pea or barley flour.[1][2][3] It has been referred to as being similar to biscotti or as a type of biscotti.[4] Paximathia is a common food in Greece and many Greek bakeries sell the bread, which is often served as a breakfast food with marmalade or cheese.[1][5] Paximathia is purveyed also in Greek specialty stores in many areas of the United States.[5]
