Homemade Dog Biscuits (Martha Stewart)

Based on a recipe that came with my Martha Stewart brand of dog biscuit cookie cutters in 3 sizes. Makes about 5 dozen depending on the size of your cookie cutter. Cook time doesn’t include the 1 ½ hours drying time in oven.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Yields: 5 dozen

Ingredients

• 1  cup all-purpose flour
• 1⁄4 cup wheat germ
• 1⁄4 cup brewer's yeast
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1⁄2 cup  low-sodium canned  chicken stock, plus more for brushing
•  parchment paper (for lining baking sheets)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F . Whisk together flour, wheat germ, yeast, and salt in medium bowl; set aside.
2. In large bowl add oil. In three alternating batches, incorporate stock and flour mixture, beginning and ending with stock. Mix well.
3. Lightly flour a surface and roll out dough to about 3/8-inch thick. Shape biscuits using a bone-shaped cookie cutter appropriate for your dog’s size.
4. You may optionally spell out your dog’s name in the dough with a wet toothpick.
5. Place biscuits on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 10 minutes. Brush with stock; rotate baking sheets and bake 10 minutes more. Turn off oven. Allow dog biscuits stand in oven to dry completely, about 1 ½ hours.
6. Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
