doughiness
Unbaked pastry quality
Doughiness is the quality of being soft, pale, and slightly puffy—like uncooked bread dough.
The word most often describes flesh or complexion: the doughiness of his face suggested he rarely went outside.
It can extend to texture in food that should be firmer: The crust had an unpleasant doughiness.
Figuratively, doughiness suggests something undercooked or underdeveloped.
