The Guinness World Records' record for the Largest pizza base spun in 2 minutes was set by Tony Gemignani (USA, left), who spun 500 g (17.6 oz) of dough for two minutes to form a pizza base measuring 84.33 cm (33.2 in) wide at the Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most pizzas made in one hour: 206, achieved by Brian Edler (USA) at the Domino's Pizza store on North Main St, Findlay, Ohio, USA.


  To make this extraordinary dish, Estrada prepares 750 pounds of stone-ground corn for the tortilla layers (250 pounds per layer), 175 pounds of grated cheese, 75 gallons of red chile sauce, 50 pounds of onions and 175 gallons of oil to heat the tortillas, Las Cruces Sun-News reported.

   Hundreds of people watched anxiously as Roberto's restaurant volunteers and families began the process of making the world's largest flat enchilada, during the 34th annual Whole Enchilada Fiesta at the Meercheidt Recreation Center complex,

  "It takes 250 pounds of masa (dough made from corn flour) to make one tortilla and we make three of them," said Roberto V. Estrada, owner of Roberto's restaurant. "We use 175 pounds of cheese and we use 75 gallons of red chile, and then we use about 60 pounds of onions." The World's largest Flat Enchilada also requires 175 pounds of pure vegetable oil and takes about an hour and a half to make, Estrada said.
