Four metre, 60kg lagana bread made in Crete

Today is Kathara Deftera, which means ‘Clean Monday’ and it is the first day of Greek Orthodox Easter Lent.

Traditionally, Lagana (Λαγάνα) is baked and eaten today.

Dimitroulakis has a bakery in Chania, Crete, and for 25 years he has been preparing a giant lagana bread for Clean Monday.

His lagana is so giant in fact that it weighs 60 kilograms, is four metres long and 1.6 metres wide, Creta24 reported.

Lagana is a Greek flatbread that has a crunchy crust and a soft and airy inside.
