Jake Gyllenhaal and Stephen Colbert bonding over sourdough is an adorable watch

Aside from busting out jaw-dropping harmonies with his Sunday in the Park With George co-star Annaleigh Ashford, Jake Gyllenhaal has spent his quarantine baking.

Sourdough, specifically.

"I have sourdough rising," the actor whispers at the start of the clip above, after motioning for Stephen Colbert to keep his voice down. "It's resting, my sourdough's resting."

During their Late Show chat, the two spend the next four minutes gleefully discussing the ins and outs of sourdough starters, and what's led Gyllenhaal to this point.

"As my hair's grown longer and as I've slowly inched into the hipster world, I've found myself falling in love with sourdough," he explains.

Find yourself someone who takes care of you like Jake takes care of his baked goods.
