unkneaded

Never folded over

Unkneaded describes dough or similar mixtures that haven't been worked by hand or machine.

Kneading develops gluten and creates elasticity, so unkneaded dough remains loose and shaggy: The unkneaded batter went straight into the pan.

Some bread recipes deliberately call for unkneaded or no-knead techniques.
