You will need
8 tbsp. plain flour
2 tbsp. table salt 60ml warm water food colouring

Method
Step 1: Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl mix together the water, a few drops of food colouring and the oil.
Step 2: Pour the coloured water into the flour mix and bring together with a spoon.
Step 3: Dust a work surface with a little flour and turn out the dough. Knead together for a few minutes to form a smooth, pliable dough. If you want a more intense colour you can work in a few extra drops of food colouring.
Step 4: Store in a plastic sandwich bag (squeeze out the air) in the fridge to keep it fresh.
