message: If "dough" (slang for money) derives from "bread", shouldn't that in turn reference cockney rhyming slang?  Or does this come from some other lineage? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.75.170.81 (talk • contribs) 21:43, February 3, 2006  (UTC)
im sure dough, (interchangable with bread) 
meaning money comes from the cockney rhyming slang bread (and honey) - money, not that bread is needed to live!
According to the Oxford English Dictionary Online, the use of dough to mean money originated in the United States. It doesn't give an explanation of how or why that is, unfortunately. The earliest quotation the dictionary cites is from the Yale Tomahawk in 1851: "He thinks he will pick his way out of the Society's embarrassments, provided he can get sufficient dough."

message: What method are you referring to when you say that people in parts of central India use "the quick method," in regard to making an instant roasted dough ball or baati? Are you saying they use a food processor or Kitchen Aid appliance to mix the ground grain with water and knead it, instead of using their hands, a bowl, and a flat surface? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nomenclator (talk • contribs) 06:03, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

message: In the first paragraph the sentence "Doughs are made from a wide variety of flours, commonly wheat but also flours made from maize, rice, rye, legumes, almonds, and other cereals and crops used around the world." has several links in it for the ingredients. I clicked "rice" expecting to go to the "rice flour" page but instead it just went to the page for rice. To me this seemed unintuitive - does anyone else think these should redirect to the types of flour and not their ingredients, or am I alone in this? Fench 23:46, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

message: What does the (Canada) in the title refer to? Does Canada have a unique breadmaking process? Do these chemicals not exist outside of Canada? An explanation would be helpful.
I'm also confused as to why this needs to be in the Dough article, since all of these additives have their own articles, and there are many ingredients associated with dough that aren't present on the page (e.g. sometimes there are sesame seeds on bread, but that doesn't mean they need to have a section on the Dough page).

replies: text: I interpret the section title as legal to be used in Canada.  Long, comprehensive articles probably should include such chemical-additive information, even when there are shorter articles with similar content.  If you want to spend a little time going through the page history, you can easily enough find out which users added the section title and its contents, and query them.  Or you could delete the Canada portion of that section heading and see who comes along to revert and what they say. To your second point of long versus short articles and redundancy of information in each, some folks prefer long, comprehensive articles, while others like shorter articles which are more focused. I include myself in the latter group.  To each their own? Gzuufy (talk) 20:14, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
