In 40 BBY, the human pilot Rahara Wick emerged from the mess of the Gozanti-class freighter Meryx, where she had been snacking, with a haroun bread bun in her hand while waiting to be signaled for pick up by the Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
When Jinn, Queen Padmé Amidala, and the Gungan Jar Jar Binks took shelter from a sandstorm and ate dinner in the enslaved Shmi Skywalker's house in the city Mos Espa on the planet Tatooine in 32 BBY, a bowl containing a piece of haroun bread, two balls of ahrisa, and a lamta sat on the house's kitchen counter.
The musician Jess snuck down to the kitchens of the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure's palace on Tatooine and nibbled on spicy ahrisa and pieces of haroun bread smeared with bantha butter for breakfast on the morning of the day that the Hutt died in 4 ABY.
Haroun bread was listed on the menu of a diner on Lafete.
In 9 ABY, a diner on the desert world Lafete where the bounty hunters Boba Fett and Din Djarin met with Mandalorians Bo-Katan Kryze and Koska Reeves had haroun bread costing 5.78 listed on its menu. Around that same year, haroun bread also costing 5.78 was listed on the menu of a cafe in Nevarro City on the planet Nevarro. At some point between 9 ABY and 34 ABY, haroun loaf was listed as a menu item costing four credits in the Restraining Bolt, an eatery in the Mos Espa Waystation battlefield—which was inspired by Mos Espa on Tatooine—of the Hunters of the Outer Rim tournament's Grand Arena on the planet Vespaara.
Haroun bread first appeared in the 1999 prequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. In the current Star Wars canon, it was first identified in the 2017 reference book Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia, which was written by Adam Bray, Tricia Barr, and Cole Horton. In the book, one ball of ahrisa is erroneously labeled as haroun bread. Haroun bread originally received its name in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was first identified in the 1999 reference book Star Wars: Episode I The Visual Dictionary, written by David West Reynolds. The dish was first identified as haroun loaf on an Aurebesh sign added to the video game Star Wars: Hunters in version 0.16.0, which was released on March 7, 2023.
