stretchy/stretchable (dough) Explanation: From an article in Scientific American (see bottom link): "Elasticity measures how well a material recovers its original form after a deformation. Which dough do you expect to be elastic, meaning it bounces back after you punch it? A second characteristic is stretchiness. A dough that stretches well can trap gas bubbles, providing well-risen, fluffy baked goods. Take a ball in two hands and stretch it out between your hands. Does it stretch easily or does it break instantly? Do you need to apply force to get it to stretch out or does it stretch readily? [...] Was the gluten dough elastic and stretchable? Did the gluten-free dough fall apart, showing neither elasticity nor stretchiness? [...] The more gluten, the more elastic, stretchy and strong the dough will be. [...] This dough is elastic and stretchy, but not as strong and tough as the gluten dough." I thought elasticity and strechiness were the same thing, but there doughs seem to be a subtle distinction... Example sentence(s):
