"On one visit, I came across some Southern Mustafarians heatin' up these sweet balls of dough directly on the planet's scorchin' volcanic crust. The result was this sweet red bread with a cracked, blackened exterior. Looked nearly as impressive as it tasted."

―Strono Tuggs, The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook

Mustafarian Lava Buns were a type of sweet bread from the planet Mustafar edible by Artiodacs and Southern Mustafarians, a subspecies of the native Mustafarians. Made from a dough, the bread was cooked by Southern Mustafarians directly on the world's hot, volcanic surface. The resulting buns were ball-shaped, red, and had a cracked black exterior. At some point, the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs visited the planet and found a group of Mustafarians baking the buns. Finding the bread's look impressive, he tasted it and found its flavor to be even more so.

In 34 ABY, Tuggs included a recipe for Mustafarian Lava Buns in his cookbook, The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook. He also included his story of visiting Mustafar. Tuggs went on to mention that a normal oven would work in place of lava and that the buns were too good to pass up.
