Make Your Own Dog Biscuits
1. Position a rack in the center of the oven.
Preheat it to 250 degrees F. Place Dog Biscuit Mix
ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Add in 1 large
egg, 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1/4
cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 to 1/2 cup (or
more) hot chicken broth, beef
broth or very hot water.
2. Make a dough that's very heavy, but not sticky.
Add more flour or water, 1 teaspoon at a time if
dough is too moist (use flour) or too dry (use hot
water).
3. Turn out dough onto a floured pastry cloth and
knead 8-10 times until elastic. Let dough rest for
5 minutes. Roll out dough 1/2 of an inch thick and
cut with a dog-bone shaped cutter. Place cookies
close together as they will not spread.
4. Bake for 1 hour, rotate the baking trays in the
oven (turn tray around 180 degrees), and bake them
another half hour. Cool the cookies in the pan for
1 minute, then transfer to a wire cake rack to
cool completely.
