Do you wanna know how to make glow in the dark edible slime. Well today I'm going to tell you how to make it!!
If you're doing this project with young children, you may as well make the slime edible, 'cause you know the first thing they're going to do is try to eat it. This recipe is made to be used as fake blood for part of a Halloween costume, but it's great for any time of year and ensures that you don't have to worry about the little ones getting sick.
This method also uses fiber, but with the twist of adding tonic water so it glows in the dark under a black light. Check out the video and step-by-step tutorial to see how it's made.

Naan Bread

Ingredients
    • ½ x 7 g sachet of dried yeast
    • 1 teaspoon runny honey
    • 45 g ghee , or unsalted butter
    • 250 g strong white bread flour , plus extra for dusting
    • sea salt
    • 3 heaped tablespoons low-fat natural yoghurt
    • 1 tablespoon nigella seeds
    • Method

      1. In a bowl, combine the yeast, honey and 125ml of lukewarm water, then set aside for 5 minutes, or until starting to bubble.
      2. Melt the ghee or butter in a small pan over a low heat. Meanwhile, combine the flour and ½ tablespoon of salt in a large bowl and make a well in the middle. Pour in 1 tablespoon of the melted ghee, the yoghurt, and yeast mixture and beat the wet ingredients together with a fork. Gradually start incorporating the flour from the sides until it starts to form a rough dough, then bring it together with your hands – it should be soft and sticky, so add a splash more water, if you think it needs it.
      3. Knead the dough on a flour-dusted surface for around 5 minutes, or until smooth, then place into a lightly floured bowl. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave in a warm place for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
      4. Once risen, knock back the dough with your fist, then divide into 6 balls. Roll each portion into an oval shape, roughly 1½cm thick.
      5. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat, add a naan bread and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until cooked through, turning halfway. Brush with a little of the remaining ghee, sprinkle over a few nigella seeds and a small pinch of salt. Keep warm in the oven while you make the remaining breads. Serve with your favourite curry.
