The Iraqi Bakery in Sofia is defined by the heavy, circular stone oven that anchors the kitchen, visible from the street when the bakers are at work. This bakery operates as a family venture, bringing the traditional samoon bread culture of Iraq directly into the Bulgarian capital. People line up for the tear-drop shaped loaves, which are pressed against the hot interior walls of the oven to bake. It remains a small, singular spot where the scent of baking dough fills the air.
