Recipes Your Dog Will Love!

I can't help but think that commercial dog food and treats are bad for my dog. You just don't know what crap goes in there. So, I've been looking out for recipes that I can try instead of simply buying from pet shops. At least I know what ingredients go in and that they are fresh and healthy for my dog. Here are recipes that you can try, too! Whiskey loves these treats.



ITALIAN BREAD

INGREDIENTS:
1 package yeast
60 ml (1/4 cup) water
480 ml (2 c) chicken stock

150 ml (1/2 cup) parmesan cheese
150 ml (1/2 cup) dry skim milk
30 ml (2 T) parsley, dry

250 ml (1 c) whole wheat flour
150 ml (1/2 cup) rye flour
150 ml (1/2 cup) rice flour
250 ml (1 c) cracked wheat

PREPARATION & COOKING
Dissolve yeast in water, then combine with stock, oil, cheese, milk, and herbs. Gradually add remaining ingredients until stiff dough is formed. Move to floured surface and knead, then roll to ½” thickness. Cut as desired and bake at 160º (325º F) for 45 minutes. After removing from oven, glaze biscuits with mixture of 15 ml (1 T) milk, 1 egg. Bake for 30 additional minutes. Cool thoroughly before serving.

710 ml (3 c) whole wheat flour

PREPARATION & COOKING
Pour hot water over butter, then slowly stir in milk, salt, and egg. Add flour 150 ml (1/2 cup) at a time until combined, then knead for 5 minutes or until a stiff dough is formed. Roll to ½” thickness and cut into desired shapes or sizes. Bake at 160º (325º F) for 50 minutes. Cool overnight.
