A lean dough is a dough that has very little or no fat content. An example of this would be a baguette.

Also, a comparison between 'lean' doughs and 'enriched' doughs might be of help: ...

'lean' doughs, by nature, are made up of the 'essential' four (4) ingredient-elements necessary to any bread dough's formula (e.g.: baguette):

1) flour 2) water 3) yeast 4) salt

'enriched' doughs, by comparison, integrate all that 'lean' doughs require, plus enriching sources of shortening(s) and sweetener(s) ... possibly one or more of the following list (e.g.: challah):

5) butter 6) oil 7) milk 8) cream 9) eggs
