Instructions
Preparing the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of plain flour and 1 cup of salt. Stir until the mixture is uniform in color and texture.
- In a separate bowl or pot, mix 2 cups of water, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Add your chosen chalk paint color to the wet mixture, stirring well for an even color distribution.
- Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
- Transfer the mixture to a cooking pot and heat over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until the dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pot, taking about 4–5 minutes.
- Once the dough is ready, turn off the heat and let it cool slightly. Knead the dough with your hands until it reaches your desired texture.
- Wrap in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
