Salt Dough. Recipe. Craft

SALT DOUGH RECIPE:
2 cups of Plain Flour
1 cup of table salt
1 cup of water 

*OPTIONAL
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (makes it a little easier to knead)
1 tablespoon of lemon juice (makes the finished product harder) 

Mix all ingredients (besides water) into a mixing bowl and gradually add the water, mixing to soft dough. 

When mixed remove from the bowl, place on a clean surface and knead for 10 minutes.
Once kneaded, let the dough stand for twenty minutes before using it.

Dough can be stored in the fridge, in an airtight container or cling film, for up to a week.

When your ready to bake your dough place it in a oven pre heated to 50 degrees and after 30 minutes increase to 100C. The drying time needed for each piece varies according to size and thickness, but an average time are generally to 3-4 hours. 

When your model is dry, turn off the oven and leave it inside to cool down. 

We are making hand & feet print keepsake today, but uses for this dough are endless!
