Tools:

Materials:

• Flour, 4 cups
• Salt, 1 cup

• Zip top bag

Steps:
Preheat oven — Preheat to 275-300°F (135-150°C).

Mix — Mix dry ingredients. Gradually add water, stirring with a large spoon. When it becomes too difficult to mix with the spoon, knead the dough until it is soft and pliable.

Store  — If you’re not using the dough right way, place in a zip top bag. If it starts to stiffen, add water and knead before using.

Bake — Bake for about one hour or until hard.
