My Notes September 2024 Week 2

A team of 18 French bakers made the world’s longest baguette.

It was a whopping 140.53 meters long.

This long, thin, crusty loaf with shallow cuts, is one of the world’s most popular breads.

Traditional French baguettes are made with only white flour, water, yeast and salt.

After the bread was baked, it was cut up, spread with Nutella and shared with the public.

Much of the bread was donated to the homeless.

Japanese use bananas to make material for kimono and kamishimo.

Banana skins are also used to make paper.
