Is it possible to make dough with no water or milk? Please see details for specific ingredients list
I found this business online selling frozen yogurt toppings, and they list the ingredients used in each product. This one is for sticky rice:
Ingredients: HYDROXYPROPYL DISTARCH PHOSPHATE, GLUTINOUS RICE, MALTOSE, SUGAR, SALT.
As you can see, it contains no liquid as a binding agent. No water, milk or the commonly used coconut milk.
I am wondering if you can use viscous liquids like honey, liquid glucose or in this case, the (possibly liquid) maltose, as a binding agent.
The ingredients list is from: www.bossenstore.com/collections/no-cook-toppings/products/original-mini-mochi
Thanks

The ingredient list usually skips water, unless it's a liquid product (juice, drink). That doesn't mean water wasn't used, or is absent, but often the product after being dried contains very small amounts of it (and difficult to measure, and changing with air moisture and small changes to technological process, and so on). Water being mostly nutritionally neutral is not essential in ingredient lists, and the ingredient list is not a recipe. Also, sometimes the water comes from other sources - e.g. egg, or some syrup, or even butter/margarine. I believe some doughs may be based entirely on fats as liquid too (e.g. clarified butter), but a liquid in one form or another is a must.
As for 'liquid glucose', in common syrup form it's just a water solution (and of course can be used as the binder.) Liquid dehydrated glucose (or sugar) will be extremely hot - to the point of scorching other ingredients, plus it solidifies into hard glassy substance once it cools down. This process is used to make some sweet, in particular mixing with seeds, like sesame, where the heat brings out extra flavor in the seeds. But that's definitely not dough.
