2 cups flour
1 cup table salt
1 cup water
mix flour and salt add about 1/2 the water and stir thoroughly.
Keep adding water a LITTLE at a time until it isn’t crumbly anymore,just dough like.( you don’t have to use all the water!)
kneed it with you hands for 10 mintues turning it over on itself on bread board.
Put in airtight container for at least 30 minutes to rest.
Pull off however much you want about fist size and roll out with rolling pin.Turn over so it doesn’t stick.
I also used a little cooking spray on cookie sheets so they don’t stick!!! otherwise kiss it all goodbye.You can’t pry it off with a crowbar.
Cook at 225 degrees for 3 hours.
Leave in oven until oven cools down.
You can paint these,varnish them, or just add food coloring to the water before you mix the dough.I did and it was cool.It takes a lot though to hold the right color.
