What do you get from boiling dough
I was wondering about what happens to bread dough under various cooking conditions.
More explicitly: what do you get when you boil dough?
I know baking gives you bread and frying gives you donuts. And since I really don’t know so much about cooking, the one thing missing was boiling.
I think microwaving is going too far.

When you boil bread dough, you get a type of boiled bagel, I don't think it has a name in English. Dumplings are more likely to be made from other types of dough, like pasta dough. And while you don't have to boil your dough in a torus shape, it is the most convenient one since you cannot shape it thick and expect to cook through.
By the way, when you fry bread dough, you don't get doughnuts, that would be a different dough (although some bread doughs like challah might produce a doughnut like result). With standard bread dough, you get mekica/Lángos.

Quick Answer about "What do you get from boiling dough"
Specifically, boiling serves three purposes: First, it sets the shape and kills off some of the yeast on the outer surface of the dough, limiting the bagel's expansion when it's baked. Second, it gelatinizes the starches on the surface, leading to a shiny coating and a chewy texture.What does boiling do to dough?
Boiling breads like bagels and pretzels effectively sets the crust before it goes in the oven. The water doesn't actually penetrate very far into the bread because the starch on the exterior quickly gels and forms a barrier. Bagels are typically boiled for 30-60 seconds on each side.What happens when flour is boiled?
When you heat a wet starch above 140 degrees Fahrenheit (say, as when mixing flour, which is mainly starch, with boiling water), the starch granules begin to swell quickly into a meshlike network that traps water in the dough even as it cooks, Mr. Souza said. This process is called gelatinization.Can dough be boiled?

Boiling dough gives you dumplings.
Answer 3
Something really popular in certain Asian places are water fried buns (or "shui jian bao"). Of course, water-frying is not exactly the same as boiling, but still, they are pretty similar...
You start with your typical bread dough and some minced meat and/or vegetable filling.
Divide the dough into portions so that each portion can be slightly flattened, filled with 2 to 3 scoops of filling, and sealed like a soup dumpling.
After filling the dough portions (making buns), heat a little oil in a pan, and place the filled buns into the pan.
Wait a few seconds for the bottom of the buns to sear, and pour water into the pan around the buns.
Cover the pan (to keep the steam), and cook for 12 to 15 minutes (or until all water evaporates).
For an extra treat, sprinkle black sesame seeds onto the buns once they come out of the pan, hot & crispy :)
