Ingredients
- 2 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup slightly warmed chicken broth
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup rye flour (optional)
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup cracked wheat
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Method
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
- Add salt, one beaten egg, and the warmed chicken broth.
- Add all flour except the all-purpose flour and mix well.
- Slowly add all-purpose flour until a stiff dough is formed and it can be kneaded by hand.
- Knead for only a couple minutes, just enough to get the dough to hold together.
- Roll out dough about 1/4″ thick and cut with cookie cutters.
- Place biscuits on a large cookie tray and place directly in oven – they don’t need to rise.
- Bake for 45 min. and then turn off the oven.
- You can let them sit in the oven overnight and in the morning they will be real hard and good for your dog’s teeth.
- You could also vary this recipe by adding milk for a milk-bone type biscuit or shortening for a little extra fat.
- Try different liquids and even honey or molasses.
- Check with your veterinarian for any other nutritional suggestions.
