Dough
Dough is a
paste made out of any
cereals (grains) or
leguminous crops by mixing the flour with a small amount of water. This step is a precursor to making of
breads,
pasta,
pastries,
cookies, and
muffins. In many parts of central
India, native people use the quick method of making an instant roasted dough ball or
baati. Flat unleavened breads known as
roti,
lavash,
yufka,
matzo, and
tortilla are used in many parts of the world today.
Leavened or
fermented dough, made from dry ground grain cereals or legumes mixed with water and yeast are in use all over the world. These includes all kinds of breads made from
wheat,
maize,
rice and other cereals or similar crops used today in the world.

About
Dough
(batsek, meaning "swelling," i.e., in fermentation). The dough the Israelites had prepared for baking was carried away by them out of Egypt in their kneading-troughs (Ex. 12:34, 39). In the process of baking, the dough had to be turned (Hos. 7:8).
