Moonfire Kitchen is a new home bakery with Puerto Rican pastries like mallorcas. But they have a lot more to offer: Persian-style hummus and a variety of flatbreads and cakes, too.
Ellice Lueders A mallorca is a Puerto Rican pan dulce, made with enriched yeast dough and rolled into a snail shape. The bread is only slightly sweet with a soft, delicate texture. It has a slightly buttery edge, like a croissant, but to mainland Americans looks like a cinnamon roll.
For Skye, part of the inspiration behind Moonfire Kitchen is to give themselves license to explore their heritage cuisine.“I grew up in a really poor household because my mom was a Hispanic woman [working multiple jobs] and my dad is disabled,” Skye said. “From a very early age, it was a helpful thing to do for our family to learn how to cook and be able to assist in that way.”While Skye’s mom was the better cook, their dad is who inspired experimentation in the kitchen.
Skye got a full-time job to start paying off student loans, and soon met their partner, Andrew Zonoozi. When he got into a master’s program at the University of Arizona a few years after he proposed, the couple relocated to Tucson. Moonfire Kitchen will be featured at the Nosh Market on Saturday, April 1. Savory items like garlic chive flatbreads and cilantro jalapeño hummus will be available at both events, along with sweet items like chocolate cake with brown butter sea salt icing in the shape of stars and moons.
Persian flavors enter the menu elsewhere, too, like with a saffron potato bisque you can regularly order online for weekend delivery. “I can make the tahdig for saffron basmati rice. I’ve come to appreciate saffron, turmeric,” they said.
