Australian community breaks Guinness World Record for world's longest challah

The Jewish National Fund in Australia helped break the Guinness World Record this week for the longest braided loaf of bread.

The world record to beat had been 6.09 m (20 feet) and was achieved by Project Inspire in Brooklyn, New York, in October 2015,

But volunteers at Sydney’s Maroubra Synagogue on Thursday smashed the record by successfully baking of a challah that was 10.08m long.

A JNF spokesperson said: “It took 12 hours, using 70 kilos of dough.”
