I make these dog bones with dog bone cookie cutters in 3 sizes: 1 inch, 3 inches, and 5 inches.
I love the 1 inch size because it’s so versatile! You can give these to every single dog that you know! They have so few calories (9 calories per bone) that you can feed them to overweight dogs, small dog breeds or puppies.
You can use them for training treats. And it’s almost like you don’t have to count the small amount of calories if you give them to large breed dogs!
The dog bone treats in the picture are the little 1 inch size.
Ingredients for Chicken Bones
Here’s the dog bone recipe for Chicken Bones:
1 c chicken broth
1/4 c olive oil (or you can use canola)
1 ½ c whole wheat flour
1 c unbleached flour
1 ½ t dry yeast
1/2 c cornmeal
2 T oat bran (can use oat bran cereal)
2 T soy flour
2 t chicken bouillon
Chicken Bones Directions
Place all ingredients in your bread maker in the order that the manufacturer suggests.
Set the breadmaker for "dough".
When the dough is ready, remove it and divide it into 3 equal portions.
Roll into sheets (with a rolling pin) that are 1/8”thick for small (1inch) bones, ¼” thick for 3” bones and ½” thick for 5 or 6 inch bones.
Cut out your bones, making sure that your cookie cutter has lots of flour on it so it doesn’t stick.
Bake the bones at 275 degrees F. The little bones will only take a few minutes (perhaps 10); the 3” bones should bake for about an hour. And the large bones should bake for at least an hour and 15 minutes.
Turn the oven off and let the bones sit in the oven for several hours or overnight. The large bones will take quite a bit longer than the others. When they are dry, the treats will be hard and crisp, with no “give” to them.
Chicken Bones can be stored at room temperature for a couple of weeks—if they have been dried properly.
If you plan to keep them longer, or you are not sure that they are dry enough, put your dog bone treats in the refrigerator or freezer in a plastic container.
are so much better for your dog!
in 3 sizes: 1 inch, 3 inches, and 5 inches.
