Playdough This is a great dough to experiment and have fun with, but it’s not suitable for baking. It’s versatile and pliable, so it’s good for practising your kneading and shaping techniques. You can mould playdough into almost any shape you can imagine (well nearly!). I’ve suggested seven shapes here, but there’s no end to what you can create with the dough if you put your mind to it!

32 GETTING STARTED

180 g/1 cup salt

Equipment: large mixing bowl small saucepan wooden spoon plastic bucket/ container with lid

1 In a large mixing bowl, mix the ﬂour, cream of tartar and the oil together. 2 Add the water and the salt to a small saucepan and heat over a medium heat (ask an adult to help with this). This is the wet mixture. 3 Once the salt has dissolved and the water starts to boil, turn off the heat and add the wet mixture to the ﬂour mixture in the large mixing bowl. 4 Mix vigorously with a wooden spoon until it forms a dough. Allow the dough to cool. 5 Remove the dough from the bowl and knead it until it’s soft and pliable (see page 24). Ask an adult to help. 6 You can now use the dough to make knots, plaits or spirals or anything you like! If you’re not using the dough straight away, keep it in a plastic bucket/container and cover it so it doesn’t dry out.

Allow the breadsticks to cool on a wire rack before dunking into dips and munching!

I loved squeezing the dough out of the squeezy piping tube onto the tray to make the breadsticks. My breadsticks were delicious!
