Etymology
The term 'doughier' derives from the word 'dough', which has its origins in the Old English 'dฤh', akin to the Middle Dutch 'deeg' and German 'Teig'. 'Dough' itself refers to a mixture of flour, water, and other ingredients that is typically kneaded or stirred to a certain consistency before being baked. As a comparative adjective, 'doughier' implies a greater degree or quality of the characteristic that defines 'dough'. The suffix '-ier' is commonly used in English to form comparatives, indicating an increase in the quality of the adjective. The evolution of baking techniques and recipes has led to the popularization of various textures in baked goods, making the term relevant in both professional and home kitchens.
