Fresh Pupusas on Comal in Spring Light

Soft, round dough cakes rest on a seasoned iron griddle, their surfaces marked by the subtle char of direct heat. Pale late-afternoon light floods the kitchen worktop in Sibiu, bouncing off the surrounding walls to illuminate the scene with a soft, even glow. The dough holds a warm, earthy beige tone, against the dark, worn metal of the comal. Small pockets of steam rise gently from the edges, hinting at the recent cooking process. The early spring light casts long, faint shadows across the textured countertop, showing the handmade quality of the food. One crack in the dough reveals the dense, folded interior.
