The Dough is a bakery at 436 Prestons Road in Marshland, Christchurch. It holds a 4.9 Google rating from 103 reviews. Customers most often mention the pies, the almond croissants and the scones, and several praise the service, including for special orders.
Neighbourhood bakeries built around pies and pastries usually earn their name on the pastry and the filling, so a flaky base and a generous, well-seasoned filling are the marks to look for. Almond croissants and scones are best eaten the same day. Ordering a special item ahead is worth doing when you want a particular bake for a gathering. Pies sell quickly at lunch in many suburbs, so an earlier visit gives you more choice.
