Gluten Free Playdoh
A soft and moldable "playdoh" recipe that is gluten free. Make shapes, roll out, and play to your hearts content with this fun salt dough.
Equipment
- 1 medium pan
- measuring cups, spoons,
- parchment paper or plastic cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 C rice flour
- 1/3 C arrowroot flour
- 1/2 C sea salt, fine or coarse grind both work
- 2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 C water
- 2 tsp coconut oil I use refined coconut oil
- 2 drops food coloring make sure it's gluten free! regular food coloring works best for this; gel food coloring tends to come off on the hands as you play with the dough
Instructions
- In a medium sauce pan, add all ingredients. Turn on medium heat and stir constantly. In about 5 minutes, you'll notice your dough thickening. Make sure to keep stirring and scraping the bottom of your pan( you will get a bit that sticks, don't worry about that-it will wash out great). Once formed into a ball of dough, at about 7 minutes, take off the heat and remove to a plastic or smooth surfaced cutting board or parchment paper that has been lightly floured with rice flour.
- Knead the dough, adding more flour(about 2-3 TBSP- add one at a time) as needed, for about 5 minutes until the dough becomes nice and smooth.
- Continue to knead the dough every couple minutes as it cools because as it cools, it will develop a "crust" on the outside(this is gluten free flour:) ). If you knead it every few minutes until it is completely cooled, you will have the perfect play doh for your gluten free child or grandchild. This takes some effort, but it's worth it!
- Store playdoh in an air tight container.
Notes
If you need nut free, use a different oil instead of the coconut oil. But I can't say how the other oil might affect the playdoh.
