Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (about 240 g) or oat flour (240 g) for wheat sensitivity
- ½ cup rolled oats (about 45 g)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup (120 ml) low-sodium chicken broth (no onion, no garlic, no harmful seasonings)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (240 g) of whole wheat flour and ½ cup (45 g) rolled oats. Stir them thoroughly to blend evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Crack in 1 large egg, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, and pour in ½ cup (120 ml) low-sodium chicken broth. Mix with a wooden spoon until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Adjust Dough Consistency: Dough should form a firm, slightly dry ball that is not sticky. If it feels crumbly, add up to 2 more tablespoons of broth, one tablespoon at a time. If sticky, sprinkle in additional flour, one tablespoon at a time, until workable.
- Knead Lightly: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1–2 minutes until smooth and pliable.
- Roll Out Dough: Using a rolling pin or a clean glass jar, roll the dough out to about ¼ inch (6 mm) thickness for even baking.
- Cut Shapes: Use cookie cutters such as bone-shaped cutters, circles, or cut squares with a knife. Place the cutouts on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave some space between each biscuit.
- Bake Biscuits: For soft biscuits, bake for 15–18 minutes until set in the center. For crunchy biscuits, bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool Completely: Transfer the baked biscuits to a wire rack and let them cool fully. Cooling helps them crisp up and makes them safer for your dog’s teeth.
Notes
- Ensure chicken broth is low-sodium and free from onion, garlic, or harmful seasonings for dog safety.
- Bake longer for crunchier biscuits or less for softer treats, depending on your dog’s preference.
- Store biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for 5–7 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat frozen biscuits in the oven for a few minutes to restore freshness and crunch.
- Optional: mix in dog-safe ingredients like parsley, carrots, or pumpkin for added nutrition and flavor.
- Serve biscuits as treats only, not as meal replacements, and adjust serving amounts based on your dog’s size.
