The conventional dough is highly susceptible to fungus and molds that cause spoilage if kept idle for a day or two in a normal environment or either requires to be frozen or refrigerated to preserve it. To avoid this, the leading industry players have come up with novel shelf-stable doughs that are manufactured, particularly for the application with required formulations.
