'dough' is a slang or colloqual expression meaning 'money'. Being uncountable nouns, neither can be given a plural 'S'. So it must be dough. An easy way to work this out is to ask yourself 'can I have more than one of them?'

You do understand, I hope, that it's risky to use slang in one's second language. On the whole, I suggest that if you need to ask about a slang word's plural, you should avoid it.
