   Moore’s masterpiece was baked in a specially designed 10-foot-square oven engineered by Glenn Snader .

   The bun-making included using 561 pounds of dough made up of 350 pounds of flour, 10 gallons of milk and 17 gallons of water.

    The 1,015-pound bun cooked for six and a half hours at 300 degrees. Crews added more than 300 pounds of barbecue and slaw to complete the record sandwich.
