Vlogger Whips Up Sourdough Bread Mid-Flight, Internet Erupts
Imagine this: You’re on a long flight from the US to Spain, chilling by the window, when suddenly, the thought hits you—“Why not make some sourdough bread right now?” Well, that’s exactly what vlogger Maria Baradell decided to do, and yes, it was just as chaotic as it sounds.
In what might be the wildest in-flight activity ever, Maria took it upon herself to document the entire sourdough-making process at 35,000 feet. She had everything—water, flour, starter, you name it. Mixing, kneading, and proofing all happened right there on her tray table, with the clouds cruising by in the background. The goal? Surprise her sister with freshly prepped dough after landing, but let’s be real—it was mostly for the ‘Gram.
Maria shared the whole saga on Instagram Reels, and of course, it went viral. We’re talking a million views and counting. But along with all that attention came a storm of angry comments. People weren’t thrilled. Some pointed out that whipping up food in such a cramped space could be a serious problem for passengers with gluten allergies. Others were just plain horrified at the idea of dough-making on a plane—crumbs, anyone?
Then there’s the bigger question: Who even thinks to do this? The Internet didn’t hold back, calling her out for what they saw as a blatant stunt for likes and attention. Sure, it’s different, but baking sourdough on a plane? That’s a whole new level of extra.
Maria did respond to the backlash, saying she just wanted to do something fun and creative without causing harm. But the whole incident has sparked a bigger conversation about how far influencers will go for viral content. Is it all just harmless fun, or are we seeing people push the limits for the sake of clout?
And in case you’re wondering, no, the bread didn’t actually get baked on the plane. Turns out, airlines aren’t exactly cool with passengers using non-existent ovens mid-flight.
