A team of Argentinean chefs pounded, baked and boxed their way into the Guinness Book of World Records on Sunday, baking the largest number of pizzas in the span of 12 hours.

A team of 400 chefs in Buenos Aires has set a new world record by baking 11,287 pizzas in 12 hours. 

More than 3 tonnes of flour, 2.7 tons of mozzarella and 88,000 olives were used during the cooking feat, according to organisers. 

Bakers used 14 industrial-sized ovens, and produced six pizzas every minute.

The team also set a second Guinness World Record for cooking 11,474 empanadas, small meat-filled pastries, in eight hours.
