Our social media feeds are often filled with bizarre cooking experiments from trying viral food hacks to making them at unusual locations. 

In one such viral video, a woman documented the process of baking from scratch and also explained how she spent time while flying.

"Making sourdough bread on my flight to Spain." This is followed by the baker stating, "I want to surprise my sister with a fresh loaf of bread."

To start, she adds water, starter, flour, and salt to a large bowl. She mixes these ingredients to form a dough, kneads it, and applies the necessary pressure. After covering the bowl, she lets the dough rest for a while. Later, she shows the dough on camera, stretching and folding it from various angles. The video text mentioned that she slept during the bulk fermentation stage of the process.

The reel has gone viral and crossed 1 million views so far. 

In the comments, many users criticised her for undertaking such an experiment on a plane. She responded to several comments, even apologising for not realising the consequences. Check out some of the reactions below:

"This is inconsiderate for all the people on the plane allergic to wheat and/or gluten. If I sat next to you, I would ask for a new seat immediately and a full refund because it would make me sick for several weeks to just inhale the flour. Please be more considerate next time."

"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 doing it in closed public places if you do not want to ruin some days of someone's holidays."

"I'd be too worried about airplane airborne germs on my dough."

"Plane is one of the dirtiest places even if you say you didn't touch anything but you did! Not a place to cook for your own health."

"Nope! It's so easy to just dehydrate your starter and take it anywhere and rehydrate and it goes back to normal in a day. A plane is no place to be doing this."
