Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits
Description
This recipe mixes whole wheat and all-purpose flours with peanut butter, water, and vegetable oil to make a pliable dough. After mixing the wet and dry ingredients, the dough is kneaded by hand until firm and rests briefly to relax the gluten. Rolling to about 1/4 inch thickness allows for cutting out biscuit shapes using cookie cutters.
Cut dough scraps can be re-rolled for additional biscuits, and the tops are scored with a fork to release steam during baking. The biscuits bake on an ungreased sheet at 350°F for 25 to 35 minutes, turning the pan occasionally for even baking. They should become hard to the touch, indicating doneness.
These dog biscuits offer a homemade alternative to store-bought treats, with peanut butter providing a flavor dogs enjoy. The crisp texture helps maintain dental health by encouraging chewing and can be portioned according to dog size.
Ingredients
- 1 1/8 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup peanut butter or other nut butter
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend wheat flour and white flour in a bowl. Set aside. Combine vegetable oil, peanut butter, and water. Add flour, one cup at a time, forming a dough.
- You will need to blend the final flour by hand, kneading until a nice firm ball of dough is formed. (Takes a bit of kneading.) Let ball of dough stand for about 10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax. Makes for easier rolling. Roll dough to about 1/4 inch thickness on a sheet of waxed paper.
- Cut with desired cutter. Re-roll scraps to make more biscuits. How many biscuits you get depends on the size of the cutter you use. Score the tops of the cookies with a fork so the steam that builds up inside the cookies will release. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for about 25 minutes, turning the pan a couple of times during baking. Cookies should be hard to the touch before removing from the oven. You may need to increase baking time.
- Do this in five minute increments.I usually have to bake about 30-35 minutes. Cool, then store in a zip-lock baggie on the shelf. No refrigeration necessary.
