Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Stir in the water gradually until you achieve a thick, but pourable batter.
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly to form a rectangular shape about 1 inch in thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 300Β°F (150Β°C).
Once cool enough to handle, transfer the baked loaf to a cutting board and slice it into 1/2 inch thick slices.
Arrange the slices back onto the baking sheet, laying them flat and with a little space between each piece.
Return the sliced rusks to the oven and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are dry, crisp, and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the rusk in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness. Enjoy them with your favorite beverage!
