doughy
Soft and pallid
Doughy describes something with the soft, pale, yielding texture of raw bread dough.
Flesh that is doughy lacks firmness or healthy color: his doughy face, doughy arms.
The word often carries unflattering connotations of being unfit or unhealthy-looking.
Bread or pastry that is doughy remains undercooked—soft and dense rather than properly baked through.
