Mega Meaties

Category: Meaty Treats
Serves: 30 Treats
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Healthy Hint:

If your pup is watching his weight, you know, getting a little big on the waist line or just a little heavy to live the best life, then why not use Chicken or Beef broth instead of the stock. Try to find some low-sodium or light dog treat recipes as they contain fewer calories but keep all of the flavour locked in so your dog will love them.

Ingredients:

- 1.3 Ltrs (5 1/2 cups) of whole wheat flour
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) of buck wheat flour
- 360 ml (1 1/2 cups) of cornmeal
- 480 ml (2 cups) wheat germ
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) dry milk
- 1 package of yeast, dissolved
- 250 ml (1 cup) chicken stock or broth
- 250 ml (1 cup) beef stock or broth
- 1 egg

Preparation & Cooking:

1. To start with you will need to combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl and then mix in the yeast and broths.

2. Then knead the mix until you a stiff dough is formed.

3. Then grab your rolling pin and roll the mixture out into a 1/4 inch thickness.

4. Then, with your cookie cutters, you might want to get some dog themed one's, cut out your cookies.

5. Get yourself a baking tray and grease it lightly and then lay out your cookies with about 2 cm's between each one.

6. Pop them in the oven and let them bake for about 45 minutes at 180'C (300'F).

7. Turn off the heat and allow them to cool overnight in the oven. Don't take them out as the heat will continue to cook them for a while and will add that special something that your dog will love.

Remember to never serve them hot to your dog, you might just burn his tounge and then you will be up for a visit to the Vets.
