Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the doggy biscuits. -
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and rolled oats. Stir the ingredients together to evenly distribute them. -
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, grate the apple and then mix it with the egg, grated cheese, vegetable oil, and milk. Stir these ingredients together until everything is well combined. -
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
Slowly add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir the dough together until it’s evenly mixed. You may need to use your hands toward the end to ensure the dough comes together. -
Knead the Dough:
Sprinkle some flour onto a clean countertop. Place the dough onto the floured surface and knead it with your hands for 3 to 4 minutes. This will help the dough become smooth and ready for rolling. -
Roll Out the Dough:
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to about 1 cm thick. Try to keep the dough even throughout to ensure consistent baking. -
Cut the Biscuits:
Using a cookie cutter, cut out small shapes from the dough. You can use bone-shaped cutters for a fun design, or any other shape you like. Place the cut-out biscuits onto a non-stick cookie sheet. -
Bake the Biscuits:
Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake the biscuits for approximately 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t over-brown. -
Cool Before Serving:
Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. It’s important to let them cool down before offering them to your dog to avoid burning their mouth.
Tips & Variations
- Storage: Store the homemade doggy biscuits in an airtight container for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer shelf life.
- Flavor Options: Try adding a small amount of peanut butter or cinnamon to the dough for a different flavor that your dog may enjoy.
- Shapes: Use different cookie cutters for variety in the shapes, especially for holidays or special occasions.
These simple, homemade dog biscuits are sure to delight your furry friend while giving them a healthy, natural treat made with love. Enjoy preparing them as a fun family activity, knowing that you’re providing a wholesome snack for your dog.
