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.

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.

A bit, but the cabin is pressurised so not as much as you might think. You can compensate for it, but I'd need the internet to figure out how so I personally wouldn't be trying the maths in-flight.

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.
