Dog Biscuits

Dog Biscuits

If you are looking for a way to cut the cost of having treats for your dog, here’s an idea.  I’ve made these dog treats for many years and all of the dog owners I’ve given these to say their dogs love them.  The owners also love the idea that there are no chemical preservatives, fillers, flavorings, etc.

I use a bone shaped cookie cutter, which can be found at most well stocked cooking store.  But, you can use any shape of cutter you want, or just cut rectangles of dough with your knife.  Have fun!

Dog Biscuits

  • 1 Tbsp Active Dry Yeast
  • 1/4 Cup Water, lukewarm
  • 2 Cups Beef Stock (no salt), lukewarm
  • 2 Cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 2 Cups Fine Bulgur
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Cup Instant Nonfat Dry Milk
  • 1/3 Cup Yellow Cornmeal, non degerminated
  • 1 Large Egg, beaten

In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water, set aside until foamy.  Meanwhile, prepare baking pans by sprinkling  evenly with cornmeal.  Stir in stock.

Combine flours, bulgur, salt and dry milk; beat into yeast mixture to make a very stiff dough.  Turn out onto a floured surface and knead about 4 minutes.

Divide dough into 3 portions, roll one portion out to a thickness less than 1/4 inch thick and cut into shapes and place on prepared baking sheets.  Brush biscuits with egg wash.  Continue with remaining two portions of dough.  Set in a warm place for 45 minutes.  While biscuits are resting, preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Bake the biscuits for 45 minutes.  When all are baked, return biscuits to the cooling oven to harden.  Store in an airtight container.

Makes about 9 dozen treats.
