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.
