This baker from Chicago shows how stretchy sourdough can be in an oddly satisfying video.

The clip, filmed on September 15, shows @FullProofBaking's Kristen building up the strength in her sourdough bread by stretching it and testing its elasticity.

Kristen explained to Newsflare: "The dough here is made with a mixture of spelt and bread flour, and this video spotlights dough extensibility - the gluten that develops in spelt dough causes the dough to be very loose, stretchy, and supple.

"It is important to build up strength in a sourdough during the fermentation so that the final loaf does not turn out flat like a pancake, but springs up nice and tall in the oven spring!"
