How to Care for Your Magical Dough 🪄

Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of some seriously magical dough. Treat it right, and it’ll stay soft, squishy, and fabulous for months—maybe even a year if you two really bond. 

Play Often (It Gets Lonely)

Your dough loves attention. Seriously—play with it often! When you squish, roll, and smush it, all the ingredients stay happy and well-mixed. If you ignore it too long, it might “settle,” meaning the oils float up like they’re on vacation and the salt sinks down to sulk.
A little kneading usually brings it back to life—but your dough would much rather you just hang out regularly.

Clean Hands = Happy Dough

Wash and fully dry those hands before you play. This keeps germs, crumbs, and mystery glitter from turning your dough into a science experiment. 
Forgot once? Don’t panic—it happens. But please don’t play while snacking; your dough doesn’t need a side of Goldfish crackers.
Pro tip: you can knead in a squirt of hand sanitizer if you’re feeling extra fancy (and germ-averse).

When Your Dough Goes Full Desert Mode 

Oops… left it out overnight? No worries. That crusty layer is just salt crystals doing their thing—not a dough disaster.
Here’s the fix:

  1. Grab a damp paper towel and wrap up your dough like a little burrito. 🌯

  2. Tuck it back into its jar or a sealed bag.

  3. Let it rest overnight.

By morning, your dough should be back to its smooth, stretchy self. Still crusty? Repeat the burrito treatment. A few rough bits left? Totally fine—they’ll knead right back in with a little patience and elbow grease.

Bottom line:
Play with it. Keep it clean. Don’t feed it snacks.
Do that, and your Magical Dough will live happily ever after (or at least until the next jar joins the family).
