(Homonym: do [n], doe).
A flour mixture stiff enough to knead or roll.
Mixture consisting primarily of flour, water, and yeast, which is used in the manufacture of bread.
The preparation of dough involves thorough mixing (kneading) and standing in a warm place to “prove” (increase in volume) so that the enzymes in the dough can break down the starch from the flour into smaller sugar molecules, which are then fermented by the yeast. This releases carbon dioxide, which causes the dough to rise.
Shaped and dried dough made from flour and water and sometimes egg; SYN. alimentary paste.
Food made from a dough of durum-wheat flour or semolina, water, and, sometimes egg, and cooked in boiling water. It is usually served with a sauce. Pasta is available either fresh or dried, and comes in a wide variety of shapes. It may be creamy yellow or colored green with spinach or red with tomato. Pasta has been used in Italian cooking since the Middle Ages, but is now popular in many other countries.
Italian pasta shapes include narrow strands (spaghetti, vermicelli), flat sheets or ribbons (lasagne, tagliatelle, fettucine), shell-shaped (conchiglie, lumache), butterfly-shaped (farfalle), tubular (cannelloni, macaroni, penne), and twisted (fusilli). Some varieties are sold ready stuffed with a meat, cheese, herb, or vegetable filling (ravioli, agnolotti, tortellini). Some types of Far Eastern pasta are made from buckwheat.
