Is our dough vegan?

• A. Yes
• B. Maybe
• C. Not sure
• D. No

Answer: (D)

Understanding vegan status means checking for animal-derived ingredients. A dough is vegan if it uses only plant-based ingredients—flour, water, yeast, salt, and plant fats or milks. It becomes non-vegan as soon as dairy (like butter or milk) or eggs appear, or if an egg wash is used on the dough. In many kitchens, dough is enriched with dairy or eggs to improve texture or flavor, which is why this dough isn’t vegan. So the answer “No” reflects that non-vegan ingredient is present. If you need a vegan option, look for a dough made with plant-based oil or water and confirm there’s no dairy, eggs, or animal-derived additives.
