is dough a solid or liquid?

In a simple flour/salt/water dough you have a liquid phase made up of an aqueous solution of polymers like gluten, and solid particles of starch. So a dough is basically a suspension of solid particles in a viscous fluid.

But if there is a common thread, Roman pizza dough tends to have an airy crust made with olive oil, flour, water, yeast, salt, and occasionally a touch of sugar. The addition of oil is the main distinction from Neapolitan dough and it gives the crust more weight, flavor, and a crispy crunch.

At room temperature, cheese is usually a solid. If you heat it up, it is a liquid. ... I wouldn't expect the cheese to have just one melting or boiling temperature.

Solids have a definite shape and definite volume. This means the shape of the material does not change, and it can't be compressed. Liquids do not...

Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter adapts to the shape of its container but varies only slightly in volume; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy the volume and shape of its container.

The basic ingredients of pastry dough are flour, sugar, milk, shortening, baking powder and eggs. When these ingredients are combined to form a dough that is flakier or crumblier than bread dough. The high fat content in pastry dough, and how the fat covers the flour used is what leads to a flaky pastry.

Most biscuit doughs should be kind of wet, not dry or crumbly. If your dough is so dry that it won't stick together you've probably used too much flour and you need to add more liquid.

A solid can hold its shape (for example, water in solid form is ice). A liquid like water forms a pool: it flows or runs but it can't be stretched or squeezed. A gas can flow, expand and be squeezed; if it is in an unsealed container it escapes (water in gas form is steam).

Butter is considered a solid fat because it is solid at room temperature and oil is considered a liquid fat because it's liquid at room temperature. Because of this, you can't rely on oil to provide any leavening help in baked goods, which can result in a denser texture.

Solid: closely packed together and have definite shape. Liquid: the interaction between the atoms lie between solid and gases and have indefinite shape.

With the yeast in a very active state, the dough will rise and become quite thick—attributing for a deeper pizza. Secondly, thin crust dough if stretched, or tossed to stretch. ... A thick crust dough is simply pressed into a pan, leaving about an inch of crust pressed snuggly against the wall of the pizza pan.

The basic ingredients of any quick-bread recipe are all-purpose flour, liquids, typically milk, salt and leavening agent, such as baking powder and/or baking soda. They usually contain added fat from butter or vegetable oil, eggs and sugar, but in varying proportions, making some sweeter and richer.

A solid is characterized by structural rigidity and resistance to a force applied to the surface. Unlike a liquid, a solid object does not flow to take on the shape of its container, nor does it expand to fill the entire available volume like a gas.

Pizza flour is that size but there is more to it. It has to have a protein content above 12% and must absorb water well. Pasta flour has the protein content but does not absorb a lot of water. This water absorption property allows for a lot of steam to form and puff up the dough.

Solids also have a high density, meaning that the particles are tightly packed together. In a liquid, the particles are more loosely packed than in a solid and are able to flow around each other, giving the liquid an indefinite shape.

Bread is generally made with a wetter dough, and risen either with yeast or in the case of quick breads, with baking soda or baking powder. Pastry usually contains a higher ratio of fat and much less water, like a pie crust, which has only enough liquid to keep it from crumbling as you roll it.
