The biggest Naan bread in the world has been baked in Keighley.

The Moghuls of India restaurant in North Street broke the record with a whopping 23 inches wide, 33 inches long and two-inch deep Naan on Tuesday - National Curry Day.

This smashes the original of 26" long, 23" wide and 2" thick baked last year by the Bengal Brasserie in London.

But it was not all plain sailing.

Restaurant manager Sayed Ahmed had to get up at 6am to start preparing the dough.

"I now understand why people don't do this," he says, "It takes years of experience to get the dough right.

"I went back to the drawing board and ran through the stages of how to make a normal six inch one."

The dough is shaped, stretched and tossed about like a pizza base before it enters the 300C tandoori oven.

The naan sticks to the walls of the oven, a cauldron-like device with hot coals at the bottom and starts to bubble and peel off when it is ready.

This takes a few seconds for a regular seven-inch naan and 12 minutes for a world record holder.

Keighley company Aire Valley Metal Products Ltd were enlisted to make giant trays to hold the giant naans.

The winning entry was the second attempt of the day. The first turned out too thin.

Because no one from the Guinness Book of Records was available to adjudicate a Trading Standards representative checked the finished product, which had to be consumed.

Mr Ahmed says: "Yorkshire can be proud of something like this. It puts Keighley back in the spotlight."

All the proceeds from Tuesday night will go to local homeless charity Night Stop. A Guinness spokesman says: "Guidelines outline the information we need. There are so many records all the time that we can't attend all of them."
