Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup wheat germ
- 1/4 cup brewer's yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 cup low-sodium canned chicken stock, plus more for brushing
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, wheat germ, yeast, and salt; set aside
Place oil in a large bowl. Add stock and flour mixture in three alternating batches, beginning and ending with stock. Mix well.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to about 3/8-inch thick. Shape biscuits using a dog-bone-shaped cookie cutter or by cutting around a store-bought dog bone with a butter knife.(Make biscuits that are appropriate for your dog's size.)
If desired, you can spell out your dog's name or a holiday message in the dough with a toothpick (wet the toothpick first so it won't stick).
Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake biscuits 10 minutes. Brush with stock; rotate baking sheets, and bake 10 minutes more. Turn off oven, leaving door closed. Let dog biscuits stand in oven to dry completely, about 1 1/2 hours. Wrap as a gift, or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
ANOTHER RECIPE
Ingredients:
•1 cup whole wheat flour
•1/3 cup cornmeal
•1 Tbsp canola oil
•1/4 cup chicken broth, low sodium
•1 egg
•1/8 cup milk, low or fat free
•1 egg, beaten for egg wash
Additional flour for rolling
Preheat oven to 350° F
Whisk together wheat flour and cornmeal.
Add oil, broth, eggs and milk.
Mix until thoroughly combined.
Roll out dough on a floured surface to 1/4" thickness.
Cut into shapes with cookie cutters. I used a chicken shape for fun because of the chicken broth.
Gather remaining dough and roll flat. Cut as many dog biscuits as you can. I usually roll the last little bit of dough into a ball and then flatten for a traditional cookie shape.
Brush the egg wash onto each cookie.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool completely on a wire rack.
Yield: Approximately 2 dozen dog biscuits using a 2" cookie cutter.
Storing: These chicken broth dog biscuits are baked hard so they will last for 4 weeks in the refrigerator. They will be good for approximately 6 months in the freezer. For more information on storing homemade dog treats review our tips and techniques.
Tips & Techniques
1.Salt - Chicken broth can be high in salt. We recommend a low sodium organic chicken broth for this homemade dog biscuit recipe. You can also make your own homemade chicken broth, but be sure to review the foods poisonous to dogs list to avoid using something that could be dangerous to your dog.
2.Beef - Try using beef broth instead of the chicken broth, or a combination of both for a real flavor packed punch.
