The Best Salt Dough Recipe
This salt dough recipe is quick and easy to make and uses common household ingredients
Equipment
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Rolling Pin
- 1 Baking Sheet
Materials
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour*
- 1 cup Salt
- 1 cup Hot Water
Instructions
- Mix salt and hot water together in a bowl.
- Once some of the salt has dissolved, mix in the flour.
- Knead dough until it becomes a play-dough consistency. This may take 3-4 minutes.
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼" thickness.
- Cut out your shapes then make a hole for the string before baking**.
- Place the ornaments onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake at 200℉ for 2.5-3 hours
Notes
*This recipe works best with all purpose flour
**Make sure you make a hole for the string to hang before baking because your ornaments will harden in the oven and could crack if you try to make the hole later.
