Materials

  • 4 cups unsifted flour
  • 1 cup salt

Ingredients

Mix together flour and salt with a big wooden spoon. Slowly stir in the water. Keep mixing until the dough follows the spoon around the bowl and then knead with your hands until smooth. Pull out a ball of dough and place on floured surface.

With your rolling pin, thin out the dough to about 1/4 inch. Use cookie cutters, knives or other kitchen utensils to mold the dough in the shape of your wishes.

Bake at 300 degrees F for about 2 hours. Check frequently and turn oven down if project begins to brown. My preferred method is to allow to air dry. This usually takes a good 24 hours.

More uses for flour salt dough include adding them into a greased mold and pressing gently until all of mold is filled. Pop out and allow to dry. If you want to hang them add a hole made by a straw or a ornament hanger to the top of the pieces.

Once dry, paint them. Dough will last up to 2 weeks in sealed bag in refrigerator.
