World's Largest Naan Bread Baked In China

The world's largest naan bread has been created in China by a local guru after officials had to build a giant chopping board and six-metre wide oven to make it possible.

In a time of economic hardship some people may not be too keen on their government spending money on creating a huge naan bread.

However, that didn't concern civil servants in Qiemo County, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, China, who decided to use taxpayer's money to build a huge chopping board that was used to create the bread.

The naan, which was baked in a specially built oven, was 2.75m in diameter and contained meat dumplings.

The super naan was made with 30kg mutton, 125kg flour, 16kg onion and 90kg water. Naan guru Memeti was aided by his four apprentices and 12 local workers and it took ten hours to finish.

Government officials will no doubt argue that the naan was a stroke of genius. Not only did it serve as a proud moment for the people but the naan was also divided up and handed out to locals.
