soft dough
Malleable flour paste
Soft dough is dough with a high ratio of liquid to flour, making it sticky and pliable rather than firm.
Bakers use soft doughs for breads, rolls, and pastries where a tender, airy texture is desired: The recipe calls for a soft dough that barely holds its shape.
Contrast with stiff dough, used for items like bagels or pasta.
