Greek bakers have prepared a giant pretzel with which they intend to apply for the Guinness Book of Records. The creation of Thessaloniki bakers weighed exactly 1.35 tons before being baked.
The record pretzel, which the Greeks call koluri, will be strung around the popular White Tower in Thessaloniki, built during the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.
To cover the entire building, the bakers made a pretzel weighing 1.35 tons and 165 meters in diameter before it was baked.
700 kilograms of flour and 250 kilograms of sesame seeds were needed to prepare the pretzel. The pretzel was made up of 250 individual pieces that were glued together with icing.
The giant pretzel was presented at a food fair organized by the municipality of Thessaloniki. A large part of the local bakers took part in its preparation.
We will apply for the Guinness Book of Records. In addition, we will soon be baking even bigger koluri. We will exhibit it in the tomb in Amphiopolis, northeast of Thessaloniki - promised Elsa Kokumeria, who is president of the Association of Bakers of Thessaloniki.
After it was filmed, the dough was cut into individual pieces and distributed to residents and guests in the Greek city.
Pretzels or as they are called in Greece - koluri, is a very popular pasta breakfast in our southern neighbor. It is sold mainly by street vendors.
Pretzels can be found in most Balkan countries, and in the United States and other English-speaking countries the pasta is called a bagel.
The pretzels we know can be prepared in any way - with sesame seeds, stuffing, tahini.
The classic Thessaloniki pretzel is made with sesame seeds and was first made by refugees from Asia Minor in 1923. Expelled from their native lands, they brought with them pretzels to Greece, which they began to make and sell in large round trays, which they carried on their heads in the early mornings.
Although not officially registered anywhere, sesame pretzels are associated with the history of Thessaloniki and are even offered in Istanbul as Thessaloniki pretzels.
