If you want to make a special homemade treat for your dog on National Love your Pet Day, give this one a try.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups barley flour
- ½ cup old-fashioned oatmeal
- ⅓ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper. Set it aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients and about 3 tablespoons water to form a dough. Roll out mixture between two sheets of plastic wrap to ¼-inch thick. Remove plastic wrap and cut out biscuits with a 3½-inch bone-shaped cookie cutter. Re-roll scraps and continue cutting out biscuits.
- Space biscuits 1 inch apart on a prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes until nicely browned and firm.
- Transfer biscuits to a wire rack. Turn off the oven and place biscuits on a wire rack in the oven overnight. Remove from oven and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
