Twice-baked bread ("Zwieback" here in Germany) is a simple, sweet leavened dough, baked in a box-shaped cake pan. The baked cake has to stand for 24 hours, and then been cut in 6-8 mm thick slices. The slices are roasted until they are golden brown, and then they can be stored für a long time (or taken to a journey - or a ship passage, as sailors did in earlier times)
I hope that was helpful.
They could also have taken dried or smoke-fumed meat with them, and smoke-fumed sausages.
