To make the salt dough, combine 1/2 cup flour with 1/2 cup salt, then add 1/4 cup water in slowly. Knead the dough for a few minutes.
To make the bowls, separate out the salt dough into an approximately golf ball size ball. Press the ball onto a floured work surface. And push the center in.
Now there are two techniques to make the bowls. Pinch or push.
Pinch. Place one finger in the center and one on the outside and pinch around the bowl. This creates flatter sides.
Push. Push your finger in the center of the bowl and then push towards the edges. This creates more of a bubble edge.
Either technique, you'll want to push the center of the bowl flat against your work surface. Try not to make either the edges or the bottom too thin so they don't rip.
Once the bowl is created to your liking, put it on a baking pan and into the oven at 200 degrees for about 2 hours, or until dry.
