Though Jyn has watched enough Bake-Off that she's not totally clueless, there's still a difference between watching on a screen and watching in person, and between watching and actually doing. She pays close attention as Greta demonstrates, taking in the way she kneads the dough before she tries it herself. As with anything, it's a bit strange at first, but it doesn't take her long to fall into a rhythm. It feels sort of good, actually — more difficult than it might look at a glance, making it clear why Greta would have enlisted her help with this part of the process, but she hardly minds that. Hell, it's nice just to have something to do.

"I guess it's different doing this much of it than, I don't know, sculpting bread into some fancy shape, isn't it?" she replies, half-joking, a wry little smile on her face as she kneads. "Makes sense that everyone left would want some now, too. Everything in stores must've long since gone bad by now." If the fresh fruit she saw had, she assumes the same must be true for all the bread and related products as well. While she's hardly about to balk at the thought of eating something slightly stale, she's not about to make a sandwich on something that looks like a science project.
