Mix the salted dough (instruction)
On the Internet, there are many options for making a salted dough for every taste. The recipe from our site:
- A glass of salt (about 200 grams) is mixed with 2 glasses of flour, and diluted with water (half a glass), knead the dough.
- If you plan to create relief figures, then add starch.
- Ready to put the dough in a cool room for at least 2 hours, pre-wrapped with polyethylene.
If you want colored figures, you can decorate ready-made figures, and you can make a colored dough. To do this, mix the dough with coffee, carrot juice or beetroot, food coloring, paints and the like.
How can I tell if the dough is ready?
- If the dough sticks to your hands or drags hard, you need to add flour. And if crumbling, then add water.
- Dough should keep the shape and not blur. We check this way - roll the ball and make grooves in it.
If you are not confident in your abilities, then first look at the master class.
