Â鶹APP

On Sunday, French bakers cooked the world’s longest baguette at 140.53 meters (461 feet), reclaiming the record for one of the country’s most well-known emblems that Italy had held for five years.

The baguette, which is approximately 235 times longer than the traditional one, was created in Suresnes, a suburb of Â鶹APP, during an event for the French Confederation of Bakers and Pastry Chefs.

The previous longest baguette, measuring 132.62 meters, was baked in the Italian city of Como in June 2019.

To improve on that, the French bakers started kneading and shaping the dough at 3 a.m. before placing it in a specially designed slow-moving oven on wheels.

“Everything has been validated, we are all very happy to have beaten this record and that it was done in France,” Anthony Arrigault, one of the bakers, said after the Guinness World Records judge approved the baguette.

Part of the baguette, which had to be at least 5 cm thick throughout, was cut and distributed to the public.

The remainder was to be distributed to homeless people.

According to official regulations, the traditional French baguette must be about 60 cm long, made entirely of wheat flour, water, salt, and yeast, and weigh approximately 250 grams.
