Heat Causes Dough In Truck To Rise, Overflow. You 'Knead' To See Pics

A truck transporting dough ended up creating a sticky mess along a major highway in Washington, US after soaring temperatures activated the yeast, causing the dough to rise and overflow out of the truck. A state trooper posted a series of pictures of the bizarre scenario on Twitter. She even live-streamed a video from the spot. Twitter, meanwhile, has been on a "roll" with "puntastic" comments you "knead" to read to beat your mid-week blues!

"Right when you think you've seen it all, you get dough on the freeway," laughed Trooper Brooke Bova of the Washington State Patrol in a short video live-streamed from the spot and posted to Twitter.

The truck driver said it's the combination of the amount of yeast and the heat.  #breadanyone?

I was going to write a pun about bread, but I thought most of you would find it rather stale. *I'll see myself out** pic.twitter.com/OYvWAsReMI

Responding to Twitter comments, the Officer Bova explained that the dough was "bakery waste" being transported to be repurposed into livestock feed. She clarified it was not fit for human consumption.
