Morphology
The meaning is fully compositional: 'pastry' specifies the kind of 'dough', so 'pastry dough' straightforwardly means dough used for making pastries. This noun‑noun modifier pattern is common in English and parallels constructions in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Pastry dough comes from a simple kitchen picture: a baker mixes flour, water, and fat to make a soft dough that will become a pastry. So, pastry dough means the basic mixture used as the base for pies, tarts, and other 'pastries'.
