 A La Bark Baking
Cooking for your pet is a good way of encouraging children to get more involved in their pets wellbeing. Many commercial biscuits contain colourings, flavour enhancers and other preservatives that may not be good for your dogs. Many dogs are now also suffering allergies, in the same way as people; and many commercial treats simply are not suited to them.
Many of the recipes in A La Bark Baking are very quick and easy to make, and will freeze until you need them.
The book has wheat free, meat free, low calorie and low protein recipes to suit most dogs. Some fun recipes for birthday and special occasion cakes are included, but even these are still healthy options.
Below is a little taster of what's inside the book! Your dog will love these cheesy treats!
This book WILL SOON be available in our online store. Only £7.99 with FREE postage and packing.
Chester's Cheesy Chomps
Light, golden biscuits. The dough is so easy to work with you can make double batches and freeze some of the biscuits for later.
- 1/2 cup (60g) wholemeal flour
- 1 cup (100g) oats
- 1 1/4 cup (100g) grated cheese (preferably cheddar)
- 1/2 cup (50g) grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup (100-150ml) water.
Pre heat oven to 180C gas mark 5.
Cover a baking tray with baking paper.
Mix all of the ingredients except oil and water together in a large mixing bowl.
Add the oil and stir with a large spoon.
Add sufficient water to make the dough stick into one ball.
Place onto floured surface and roll out gently with floured rolling pin.
Aim to have your dough about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick.
Cut with a cookie cutter and place onto the baking tray.
Cook in centre of oven 25 -30 minutes or until they start to turn slightly golden.
Makes about 24 middle sized biscuits.
Store in airtight container and they may keep weeks, but they will probably be gobbled up long before then!
If you have a good sized food processor - chop your cheese then add all other dry ingredients. Pulse the processor and add the oil and water slowly. Stop as soon as the dough sticks into one ball. Roll out and cook as normal.
Biscuits made in the processor have a smoother consistency as the oats will have been chopped but they still taste great.) |
