    Great quick and simple recipe. Daughter loved it. I did add a tsp of olive oil to mix to soften it a ittle. Was just right for 1 large pizza.

    I made the salt dough leaves last night with my family and had a great time! (I think the adults had more fun than the kids!)
    I added cinnamon to the lighter colors: Red, orange, yellow, green. I added LOTS of cinnamon and cloves to the brown dough and it smelled amazing! I also added the corresponding colors of glitter to each color of dough. I love the sparkles in the finished product!
