Plural of dough; multiple batches or types of soft, thick mixtures made from flour, water, and other ingredients used in cooking and baking.
From Old English 'dag,' related to Dutch 'deeg' and German 'Teig,' all referring to a paste-like mixture. The word entered English by the 7th century and maintained its meaning through centuries of baking traditions.
Interestingly, 'dough' is one of the oldest food-preparation words in English, and it's remarkably similar across Germanic languages—showing how ancient the practice of making bread dough really is.
