An Instagram user shared a video of making sourdough bread on her way to Spain. She wanted to surprise her sister with a fresh loaf of bread, so the process was done thousands of feet above the ground.
Her video, viewed over 1.2 million times, did not please many social media users. A couple of them claimed to be flight attendants, who were far from impressed by the passenger’s efforts.
“I’m a flight attendant and I hate people like you," posted one user on Instagram.
“As a flight attendant I’m gonna say: Ewwwww. On the last flight, some unhygienic passenger clipped his toe nails on that table and another one puked on it. Needless to say that the armrest you’re touching, is where some dudes’ unwashed hands from the lavatory were as well. Another woman changed the baby’s diaper, since the bathroom wasn’t “sanitary" enough in her opinion. I’ve seen it all - believe me. Now there’s you, kneading and folding sourdough. Enjoy your germ-bread. That’s an airplane - not a bakery. Learn some manners, people…, Please," wrote another.
“Looks really cute but please don’t do it in planes, it’s a really closed place and a celiac could suffer an intoxication, the flour can easily “fly” and spread. I know there is HEPA in the plane but is not instantaneous, so please avoid to do it in closed public places if you can not want to ruin some days of someone’s holidays," posted another.

She had to let it rest for another 20 hours after getting off the plane anyway. Even if it was really necessary, she could have made the dough at the airport (past security) and kept it fully sealed whilst on the plane.

It really should have been stopped anyway. Raw flour is not an acceptable ingredient to be spreading everywhere. I feel sorry for her seat neighbors

Maybe she was trying to add unique cultures to the sourdough from the tray table.

Trying to create a starter using someone else’s yeast infection?

And it’s been used to make yoghurt. How delicious 🤢
I hope these people don’t host dinner parties.

What I find interesting is that the flight attendants that complained were on the Instagram post, not the actual flight attendants on the plane.

Doesn’t the altitude really mess with the chemistry of baking?
So in addition to the ick factor, I suspect this loaf just… wasn’t very good bread.

If your airplane is the same pressure as the outside air at 30,000 ft all the passengers are dead. They keep them the same as sea level.

not exactly, the pressure in a cabin varies a lot and by altitude. it’s not the same as the atmosphere outside the plane, put popping ears alone prove the pressure is not static at sea level.

Representative of company responsible for cleaning plane admits plane is not clean.

They can make it as clean as they like, but the moment passengers are on board the cabin is hardly a hyginic place to be preparing food.
- ℍ𝕂-𝟞𝟝 ( @HK65@sopuli.xyz ) English11•21 days ago
Not clean as in not sanitary enough to make food on, as can be expected on public transport.
- Umbrias ( @Umbrias@beehaw.org ) 1•19 days ago
this was hilarious lol

And this is why I bring sanitizing wipes when I travel, and use them judiciously.
Off topic: ok, weird, I clicked on the link and then I wanted to share with my wife, that loves baking. When I touch the iOS share button, a completely different link is copied.
