: Does anyone have any salt dough recipes? My grandson needs to make a salt dough map for a school project. Thanks in advance!!!
2 level cups (8 ounce /225g) of wheat flour. 1 heaped cup(4 ounces/100g) of household salt. 3/4 cup ( 6fl ounces /150ml) of luke warm water.
1 table spoon of wallpaper paste
1 table spoon of oil.
blend together the flour and salt and if necessary the paste pour on the water and oil.
stir well in the bowl
The dough will look crumbly and dry.
Knead it steadily for 10 to 15 mins and you will have a dough that is supple and firm.
BAKING AND DRYING.
Bake in the oven using the lowest setting possible for 2 hours.
check to see if done tap lightly with your finger. the sound should be hollow and even all over. try to push a needle through your craft this should not be possible the surface should be as hard as stone. put back in the oven if not cooked and check at regular intervalls.
All the best Sharon
