Special Reward Dog Biscuits

Submitted by Jessica Guinan

These look pretty good because they're made with regular stuff you'd find in a supermarket!

12 oz whole wheat flour
12 oz bread flour
2 oz wheat germ
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp brown sugar
3 eggs
1 c. vegetable oil
3 oz powdered dry milk
1 c. water

Combine the flours, wheat germ, salt & brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the eggs and oil. Dissolve the milk powder in the water, then incorporate the mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix to form a very firm dough that is smooth and workable. Adjust by adding a little extra flour or water as required. Cover the dough and set it aside to relax for 15 to 20 minutes. Roll the dough out to 1/2" thick. Cut out biscuits and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment. Bake at 375 for approximately 40 minutes or until they are brown and rock hard.

Quick Method for Dog Biscuits
Prepare biscuits following steps 1-3. In step 4, knead & shape the dough into a uniform square. Cover and place in refrigerator to relax. In step 5, divide the dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll out 1 piece to make a rectangle measuring 15x6 inches. Set the piece aside to relax & do the same for the other half. Cut the first piece in half lengthwise, then cut each half across into 12 equal pieces. Repeat with the second piece of dough. Pan, bake and store.
