how does bread dough form a stretchy dough and not a cake-like batter?

Like, how does it get doughy and stretchy, even before kneading. The building blocks of bread and other baked goods at the start are near identical

Bread is made with ‘strong’ flours that have more gluten.

Gluten is made of long, stretchy protein chains.

They give the dough some elasticity and are activated and made more stretchy with kneading.
