Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother dough, ensure the water is warm when mixing. If you need a gluten-free alternative, consider using almond flour or coconut flour, but adjust the liquid accordingly as these flours absorb moisture differently. Adding a pinch of food coloring can make the dough more fun for kids, similar to Edible Play Dough(Peanut Butter).
