Food influencer makes sourdough bread during transatlantic flight

@leafandloaf Let me know if you want to see the final results or if you have any questions #milehighsourdoughclub#sourdough#milehigh#milehighclub#sourdoughbread#makingsourdoughbread#inflight#americanairlines#AA♬ Barcelona Spain – Kikot

Video of her breadmaking escapade has been viewed millions of times, with most commentary being negative. People frequently complain that she’s exposing other passengers to gluten, which seems odd considering American Airlines serves bread as part of inflight meals. This isn’t a unique exposure!

Baradell stated she mixed ingredients before seatmates arrived and asked for their permission once they were seated. Her seatmates were excited by it.

Unfortunately, she had no access to the galley ovens on the Boeing 787, so had to wait until arrival to actually bake the bread she’d made.

Having been criticized online for her efforts, Baradell shared that she’d previously tried to bring a jar of sourdough starter on a domestic flight in Canada, only to have it confiscated. Originally clearing TSA security in Dallas, she faced extra scrutiny but was following all the rules and was able to bring her ingredients through.

"TSA inspected my bag in Dallas since I had flour in it (which of course can look suspicious). The flour, salt, and sourdough starter passed the TSA tests. A lot of people are wondering how I got past security with these items, but they are allowed and a lot of people in the sourdough community travel with their sourdough starters. We like to make bread wherever we go."

Four years ago, a man posted video of himself grilling a steak in a Delta Air Lines lavatory. That man was also known for cutting the hair of the passenger in front of him on a plane when the hair was draped over the seat back covering his entertainment screen.

And no one will ever be as much of a hero as the man who cooked garlic shrimp in a Delta Air Lines lavatory and baby back ribs in a hotel bathroom.
