This recipe for dog bones will rank among the best homemade dog treats with your favorite dog!
Made from 100% natural ingredients, these dog bones are healthy for your dogs too!
Our beef dog bones have that rich beefy flavor that beef-eaters love! But, because they are made with broth and bouillon, your dog won’t be getting excessive protein, meat and fat which can be harmful to her!
If you live near a craft store like Ben Franklin or Michaels, you can get dog bone cookie cutters there.
Ingredients for Beef Bones
Here’s the Beef Bones dog treat recipe:
1 c beef or vegetable 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 wheat bran (can use oat bran cereal)
2 T soy flour
1 t rosemary, dried (or 1 T fresh)
2 t beef bouillon
Beef Bones Directions
Place all ingredients in your bread maker in the order that the manufacturer suggests. You can use the rosemary whole or chop it into little pieces. Your dog will like it either way, and using it whole will be OK in these bones. I do prefer to chop it for the mini bones.
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 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.
Beef 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 them in the refrigerator or freezer in a plastic container.
