115 Rover's Reward Dog Recipe

Ingredients:

1 package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups whole-wheat flour
2 cups cornmeal
2 cups oatmeal -- uncooked
1 cup fresh mint leaves -- chopped, loose packed
1 cup parsley sprigs -- chopped, loose packed
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
1 can beef broth -- (13 3/4 to 14 1/2 ounces)3/4 cup milk

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In small bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and 1/4 cup warm water (105 degrees to 115 degrees F.). Let stand until yeast foams, about 5 minutes.

2. In very large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, cornmeal, oats, mint, parsley, and wheat germ. With wooden spoon, stir in yeast mixture, broth, and milk until combined. With hands, knead dough in bowl until blended, about 1 minute.

3. Divide dough in half. Cover 1 piece with plastic wrap to prevent drying out. Place remaining piece of dough on lightly floured surface. With floured rolling pin, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. With large (about 5 inches) or small (about 2 inches) cookie cutter, such as bone* or mailman, cut out as many biscuits as possible, reserving trimmings. With spatula, transfer biscuits to large ungreased cookie sheet. Reroll trimmings and cut more biscuits. Repeat with remaining dough.

4. Bake small biscuits 30 minutes, bake large biscuits 40 minutes. Turn oven off; leave biscuits in oven 1 hour to dry out.

5. Remove biscuits from cookie sheet to wire rack. When cool, store at room temperature in tightly covered container up to 3 months.
Yields: about 4 dozen large biscuits or 24 dozen small biscuits Work.

Salmon Treats

1 can salmon, canned, pink
1/2 cup chopped parsley
3 eggs -- shells included
1/2 cup sesame seeds -- ground in coffee grinder
1/2 cup flax seeds -- ground in coffee grinder
2 cups potato flour -- (2 to 3)

Put these ingredients into a food processor, mix VERY WELL. Pour potato flour through the opening while the motor is running. I can't tell you exactly how much, but I would guess about 2-3 cups. When the dough forms, like a pie crust, and rolls into a ball it is ready to take out. Dump this mess onto potato floured counter or board. Knead more flour into this and when it is a rolled out cookie consistency, it is ready to roll out into about 14 inch thick.

I use a pizza cutter to roll our long strips and then cut crosswise to make small squares . If you want FANCY you may use a cookie cutter. Bake on cookie sheets, sprayed Pam or line the sheet with parchment paper. I put in as many as will fit. Usually two whole cookie sheets suffices. I bake this in a 375º oven for 20 min. Turn and rotate the cookie sheets and bake about 10 more minutes. You can make them as soft or as hard as you want.
