Naan bread specialist Honeytop Speciality Foods is the only baker in the country with a specialist tandoori-style oven with the capacity to cook an authentic bread of such magnitude. The record breaker was a traditional plain naan, made using an authentic naan recipe including yoghurt, ghee and Kalonji seeds and weighing more than 40kg. The giant naan took bakers over five hours to make and 8 staff to carry.
Pauline Catterall, director of new business development at Honeytop said: “We were very excited to be challenged by Brewers Fayre to create the world’s largest naan bread. It was baked to a traditional recipe using the same high-quality ingredients and unique baking method used to create all our naans. We’re very pleased to be a record-making baker and wish Brewers Fayre every success with its curry nights.”
The giant naan, which was enjoyed by the Brewers Fayre team, is believed to have smashed the previous record set by Asda and baked by Honeytop in 2004 which measured 7.7ft by 3.3ft.
Brewers Fayre spokeswoman, Melanie Owen, commented: “We are really excited to have created the biggest naan on earth and we can’t think of a more fun way to launch our curry nights.”
