Fresh Pupusas on Comal in Gulshan Bakery

Warm, golden-brown pupusas rest on a round, dark comal, their thick corn dough showing faint char marks from the heat. The tray sits atop a metal bakery cooling rack, the grid of silver bars visible beneath the food. Indirect light from pale walls softens the scene, casting muted reflections on the polished floor below. The turn of seasons hangs in the air, suggested by the weight of the corn and the casual arrangement of the round cakes. Shallow depth of field blurs the background, keeping focus on the texture of the dough and the smooth surface of the comal. A small steam wisp rises, catching the light before vanishing into the quiet room.
