FOOD DEHYDRATOR
2 Cups Gold Medal Flour
1-Cup Salt
1-Cup Water
Mix flour and salt together, then add water. Blend mixture by hand. Knead by hand 2 or 3
minutes into a pliable, moist ball.
Roll dough on a well-floured surface, adding flour to the top of the dough so it will not
stick. Keep surface well floured as you roll and turn dough. Cut into shapes or make
figurines and then dry.
HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS
Roll dough thin – as you would a cookie. Use cookie cutters for designs. Make extra
ornaments to use as testers. You’ll break the testers to see if dough is completely dry all
the way through.
Sprinkle a little flour on the dehydrator trays and place ornaments (not touching each
other) on the trays.
Dehydrate for 2-3 days or 18 to 24 hours with the fan/ motor. You really can’t over-dry
them. Be sure your testers break with a snap and are completely dry inside.
Notes
1. Roll dough as smoothly as possible.
2. Remember not to make ornaments/ art too tall. They must fit within the height
without touching the next tray on the top.
3. Paint with any crafts paint after dehydrating or make dough with food color. Clear
spray helps preserve your crafts.
MEXICAN DOUGH ART
2 cups baking soda
1 ¼ cup cold water
1-cup cornstarch
Combine ingredients in pan. Cook, stirring continuously, for about 5 minutes or until
mixture thickens and forms into a ball. Knead by hand until smooth. Form into jewelry,
figurines, small sculptures, bead or art. Dry in your food dehydrator and paint, if desired.
Finish by spraying with a clear plastic to seal and protect.
