French bakers claim to have the world’s longest baguette

“French bakers made the longest baguette ever. ” Baguettes are an important part of the food in France.

The new Italian record is 140. 53 meters long, which is longer than the previous record of 132. 62. It has been confirmed by Guinness World Records.

A long bread was made in front of people on Sunday at the Suresnes Baguette Show in France. It happened at the Terrasse du Fécheray observation deck in a place near Paris.

A judge from Guinness World Records was present to confirm the record, Reuters reported.

18 bakers started making the dough at 3 am and then watched over the baking from 5 am, as stated by a news release from Suresnes. A special oven was made for the event.

After the bread was cooked, a part of it was sliced, spread with Nutella, and given to the people. Another section was given to the local youth association Celije so they could hand it out to the homeless that evening, the release stated.

“Suresnes is happy to see the new record for the longest baguette in the world. This celebrates our country’s food and the people who keep the tradition alive,” said Suresnes mayor Guillaume Boudy.

“I want to say good job to the bakers in Suresnes who made the baguette and keep the tradition of sharing alive. It’s important for our town to be friendly and welcoming,” Boudy said.

Dominique Anract, who leads a group of French bakers, said it took about 10 hours to make the longest baguette by hand. He also praised the teamwork and effort of all the bakers involved.

The baguette is a long, thin, crunchy bread that is really popular all over the world.

The French government says that traditional French baguettes are made with white flour, water, yeast, and salt. They should be 60 centimeters long and 5-6 centimeters wide, with five blade marks on top.

In 2022, French baguettes were given a special protection. The skill and tradition of making baguettes was added to UNESCO’s list of important cultural heritage.

The Suresnes release said that they were trying to beat the record for the world’s longest baguette to honor their heritage and culture.
