On May 5, a group of French bakers set a new Guinness World Record by making a 140.53 meter long baguette, which is 235 times longer than a traditional baguette.

The new world record for the longest baguette was set at an event of the French Federation of Bakers and Pastry Chefs in Suresnes, a suburb of Paris.

The team of 18 bakers began kneading the dough at 3am on May 5 (local time), before putting the bread into a specially designed slow oven.

The previous record for the longest loaf of bread belonged to the Italian city of Como with a length of 132.62m, set in June 2019.

A portion of the bread, at least 5cm thick, was cut off and shared with the public. The rest was given to the homeless.

By standard, a traditional French baguette is about 60 cm long, made only from flour, water, salt and yeast, and weighs about 250 grams.
