Overview
The creator begins by dramatically revealing a large, proofed sourdough rye dough from a bowl. She comments on its properties, then divides the dough in half with a bench scraper. She proceeds to demonstrate her process for shaping one of the halves into a loaf, stretching and folding it while providing commentary on her first experience working with rye flour and its high moisture content.
