RECIPE FOR SALT DOUGH
You can find many recipes for salt dough on the internet, and all of them says to add one cup of flour, a cup of salt, water + additives such as wallpaper adhesive or potato flour, which I was using at the beginning, but the details crumbled in my hands, and when I was able to create them, they cracked in the oven, or a bubble arouse on the figures bottom, which meant that my work went to waste. After many trials and errors I managed to create the perfect proportions, which I'm using from this day, and it makes the details very easy to mold, and figures do not break in the oven.
MY RECIPE FOR SALT DOUGH:
- 1 cup of flour
- 1/2 cup of salt (larger amount of salt will make the details crumble in your hand)
- a flat spoon of wallpaper glue
- a flat tablespoon of corn flour
- + / - 1/2 cup of warm water: gradually pour hot water all the time kneading, so that the dough will be perfect for creating products.
NOTE: If you accidentally pour too much water, you have to sprinkle the flour until the mass becomes perfect to make the figures.
To color the dough You can use the food dye, which should be poured before mixing with water.
We can also use natural dyes, which should be poured before mixing with water. They may be available in our kitchen, and besides the color they give dough beautiful scent, for example:
- cinnamon (gives slightly brown color and a nice smell) ,
- coffee,
- cocoa
- turmeric (which stains the mass of yellow),
- pepper (to mass became red),
If you want to get a great flavor without color, we add perfume oil while mixing the dough. I love the rosy angels, the scent last for several days.
The finished dough should be baked in the oven preferably on an aluminum foil, at the beginning with the oven door open at most smallest fire (in my oven it is 125 degrees Celsius). After 30 minutes you can close the door and in about few hours the products should be baked enough to go to the next step, which is painting.
