Ingredients

Here is the dog bone recipe:

• 1 cup water
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup unbleached flour
• 1/4 cup barley flour
• 1/4 cup dried soup vegetables (not onion or garlic)
• 1/4 cup brewers yeast
• 1 ½ teaspoons dry yeast

Directions

• Place all of the ingredients in your breadmaker—in the order that you usually do.

• Use the “dough” cycle.

• When the dough is ready, remove it from the bread maker.

• Divide it into 3 or 4 balls to make it easier to work with it.

• Roll each ball of dough into a sheet. If you are making 3” bones make the sheet ¼” thick. If you are making 5-7” bones, make the sheet ½” thick.

• Let the bones rise for 45-60 minutes.

• Bake at 300 degrees F for approximately 1 hour or until they feel pretty hard to the touch.

• Turn off the oven and let the dog bones continue to dry in the oven overnight.

Store these healthy dog treats in a cool dry place in an airtight container for a period up to 30 days. Or, you can refrigerate or freeze them for longer periods.

I don’t recommend making the 1” bones with this dog bone recipe, as the dried vegetables are kind of “chunky” and stick out of the dough a bit. The dried vegetables also make it hard to cut the small bone treats.

Dog bone cookie cutters are fairly common. You should be able to find them, either individually or in a set, at most craft stores. Try your local Michael's, Ben Franklin or possibly at Wal-Mart.

Enjoy the recipe, and while you're here, why not take a look at some of my other healthy homemade dog treats recipes?
