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
Flour is also explosive, especially as a suspended dust
Hoo boy, can’t wait until someone brings a bag of flour to the plane as a threat
I mean, isn’t that what we’ve all been saying about TSA and how it’s ineffective against actual terror plots?

Oh sure she can get the dough and ingredients in the plane, but I doubt the entering countrys controls will let that dough full of pathogens in.
