This is a recipe for dog treats that I make for my dogs from time to time. We hope you like it.


Homemade Dog Biscuits

3 to 31/2 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup rye
2 cups cracked wheat
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk
1 pkg. dry yeast
4 tsp. salt ( or substitute herbs for dog on salt/free diet )
2 cups chicken stock or other liquid
1 egg and 1 tbsp. milk to brush on top

Combine all dry ingredients, except yeast. In a separate bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. To this add chicken stock. (you can use bouillon, pan drippings or water from cooking vegetables.) Add liquid to dry ingredients. Knead mixture for about three minutes. Dough will be quite stiff. If too stiff add extra liquid or an egg. Preheat oven to 300'F, Roll dough out on floured board to 1/2 inch thickness. Immediately cut into shapes with cookie cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and brush with a wash of the egg and milk. Place in oven. After 45 minutes, turn off heat and leave biscuits in oven overnight to get hard. When I'm in a hurry I use a knife to cut the dough in stripes, instead of a cookie cutter.
