Our social media channels are often filled with bizarre cooking experiments, from trying out viral cooking hacks to preparing them in unusual places.
In one such viral video, a woman documented the process of baking from scratch and also explained how she passed the time while flying.
“I’m making sourdough bread on my flight to Spain.” The baker then says, “I want to surprise my sister with a fresh loaf of bread.”
To start, he adds water, sourdough starter, flour, and salt to a large bowl. He mixes these ingredients together to form a dough, kneads it, and applies pressure as needed. After covering the bowl, he lets the dough rest for a while. Later, he shows the dough on camera, stretching and folding it from various angles. The text of the video mentions that he slept through the bulk fermentation stage of the process.
The reel has gone viral and has so far surpassed one million views.
In the comments, many users criticized her for carrying out such an experiment on a plane. She responded to several comments, even apologizing for not realizing the consequences. See some of the reactions below:
“This is so inconsiderate to all the people on the plane who are allergic to wheat and/or gluten. If I sat next to you, I would immediately ask for a new seat and a full refund because I would be sick for weeks just from inhaling the flour. Please be more considerate next time.”
“It looks very nice but please don’t do it on airplanes, it’s a very closed space and a celiac could get food poisoning, the flour can easily “fly” and spread. I know there are HEPA filters on the plane but it’s not instantaneous, so avoid doing it in closed public places if you don’t want to ruin a few days of someone’s vacation.”
“I’d be too worried about airborne germs from the plane on my dough.”
“The airplane is one of the dirtiest places, even if you say you haven’t touched anything, but you have! It’s not a place to cook for your own health.”
“No! It’s very easy to dehydrate sourdough, take it anywhere, rehydrate it and be back to normal in a day. An airplane is not a good place to do this.”
