Materials

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (easy to find in most kitchens)
  • 1 cup salt
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (optional, but adds a lovely texture)
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons lavender essential oil (or more to taste)
  • Food coloring (optional, for a touch of color)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spoon for stirring
  • Clean work surface for kneading

Instructions

  • In your mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Feel the grainy texture as it passes through your fingers.
  • Add the coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Notice how the warmth of the oil starts to soften the flour mixture.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the water, lavender essential oil, and any food coloring. Stir gently, appreciating the pleasant scent that fills the air.
  • Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Listen to the gentle splatter as the two come together.
  • Stir until combined, allowing your senses to engage with the rhythm of mixing.
  • Once combined, turn the dough out onto a clean surface. Knead it with your hands, enjoying the soft, yielding texture.
  • If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour to create a smoother consistency.
  • Continue kneading for about 5 minutes. Feel how the dough transforms under your gentle hands.
  • Once it reaches a desirable texture, set the dough aside to rest for a few minutes. This moment of pause is part of the calm journey.
  • After resting, give it a final knead and shape it into your desired form, allowing yourself to be creative in the moment.
