📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Gurasa is a thick, round flatbread made in Sudanese homes: yeasted wheat dough is cooked on a griddle or in a frying pan. Thicker and softer than kisra, it's eaten with meat stews or torn and topped with sugar and butter for breakfast.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a morning in a Sudanese home, thick round breads are stacked up and set on the table with sweet tea.
