Loaf of Bread
- world record set by Italian bakers

The
previous Guinness world record for the Longest
Loaf of Bread
was 1211.6m. It was baked in Vagos (Portugal)
in 2005.
Eighteen bakers in Umberto, Italy, cooked
through the night using 2,500 lbs of flour to create the loaf
in 2,000 different sections to become the new World record-holders.
The Longest Loaf of Bread in The World was
certified by the Notary Evangelist Octavian.
And if anyone was wondering whether a loaf
that big would be a panini in the neck to get rid off, head chef Carmelo Avola
turned it into a snack for hundreds
of helpers.
He told the Austrian Times: "We used some
rosemary, some olive oil and a little cheese and we toasted
as much as we could," he explained.
The town of Modica and Avis organized
the world record attempt for the Longest
Loaf of Bread in The World
(which relies on the patronage
of the province of Ragusa, the Camcom Ragusa, Coldiretti and
Confcommercio) in the heart of the Old City.
