The short answers
What does “biggest” mean here?
That's what she asked! (haha) The record comparison is based on length: 61 cm, then 85 cm, then our 106.05 cm. Weight is listed separately.
Why 106.05 cm when the measurement was in inches?
This record was set in America, for America's 250th birthday, so we of course measured in American, er, imperial. But the earlier two records were measured in metric, so we are going to compare apples to apples. Croissant to croissant. 41¾ inches × 2.54 = 106.045 cm, rounded to 106.05 cm for display. The earlier lengths convert to 24.02 inches and 33.46 inches. The conversion doesn't add precision to the measurement.
How much longer was it?
That's what she….
Approximately 21.05 cm, or 8.29 inches, longer than the 85 cm German croissant. That is an increase of about 24.8%.
How long did it take to make?
Three days. The dough weighed 7.5 lbs and used 2.2 lbs of butter.
Where are the measurement rules and method?
We followed the same requirements and criteria as the earlier two records: we used traditional croissant ingredients, recipe and baking methods; the croissant had to look and taste like a regular croissant; and we'd measure in accordance with Record institute of Germany's judging of the 85 cm record.
