• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Cook Time: 5 minutes
• Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• food coloring

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients — flour, salt, cream of tartar — and mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, add a few drops of food coloring to water. Add the mixture to a large pot along with vegetable oil and stir to combine.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the pot and mix well
4. Cook over low-to-medium heat until a dough starts to form and becomes dry.
5. Once the mixture looks fully cooked and starts to form into a ball, remove from heat. Let the dough cool.
6. Once cool, knead the dough for 5 minutes or until soft.

Notes

If you find the dough is too dry and hard after kneading, add a bit more oil and knead to combine. To see how it's created, watch a video demonstration on YouTube.
