Shuraik bread holds a significant cultural place in Medina, especially during the holy month of Ramadan. Its round shape and sesame topping are not only characteristic but also symbolic, as the bread is traditionally served to break the fast at iftar. The bread’s presence at the Ramadan table is a ritual that reflects the city’s culinary heritage and spiritual traditions. As the evening call to prayer marks the start of iftar, shuraik is an essential part of the meal, evoking a sense of community and shared history.
