- 1 cup of salt
- 2 cups of flour
- 3/4 to 1 cup of lukewarm water (the amount of water depends on relative humidity)
When the kids have made creations they want to keep and have become bored with the salt dough, it is time to bake the salt dough. Place the creations on a baking tray or cookie sheet and bake for about 20 minutes on 350 degrees. Items that are bigger will take longer to cook.
