Flour, Salt and Water

I have decided to attempt to make some of the props for The Metamorphosis. Just a few really. I'm making fake plates of food. They are in the beginning stages of production.  I made dough and then made the shapes I wanted and then baked them.



Baking Dough Recipe
3 1/2 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups water

Add water slowly until the dough is moist but doesn't stick to your fingers. The more you work the dough, the softer it gets and seems to warm up in your hands making it easier to shape.

Place on baking sheet and put in the oven at 300 F until the dough gets brownish. It takes a while, about an hour for the pieces I made.
