From "Make It Ahead" by Ina Garten


Recipe Introduction

"Everyone in the house needs homemade treats, even your best friend! We tested these dog 'bones' against the ones from the grocery store, and they won every time! All of our test subjects made a beeline for these. Hope your dog will, too!"

List of Ingredients

◦ 1 � cups stone-ground whole wheat flour
◦ 1 cup all-purpose flour
◦ � cup powdered milk
◦ � cup quick-cooking oats (not instant), plus extra for sprinkling
◦ � cup smooth peanut butter
◦ 2 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
◦ 1 extra-large egg, lightly beaten
◦ 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash


Recipe

Preheat the oven to 325� F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the two flours, the powdered milk, oats, peanut butter, and wheat germ. With the mixer on low speed, add the egg and 1 cup of water and mix just until it forms a slightly sticky ball. Dump the dough out on a well-floured board and knead it into a ball. Roll the dough out � inch thick. Dip a dog bone-shaped cookie cutter in flour and cut out shapes. Collect the scraps, knead lightly, roll out again, and cut more dog biscuits.

Place the biscuits on the prepared sheet pan and brush with the egg wash. Sprinkle with oats and bake for 1 hour, until completely hard.
Cool and toss!

Makes 10 to 20 biscuits
