Tips on how to cook or dry the salt dough

How do you cook salt dough? How long do you put salt dough in the oven?

Baking it. As with all recipes that require baking in the oven, your oven is a factor and could need a temperature and bake time that’s a bit different and might only work for you. I suggest checking in how things are going when you are making your fist batch.

What I do recommend is baking at about 200 degrees F / 100 degrees Celsius. Bake for an hour and check. Turn the ornaments, bake for another hour. If the dough isn’t dry yet, bake for another hour and check.
