6. BARLEY BEEF BISCUITS
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic granules
4 tablespoons parsley
2 cups beef broth
2 cups barley flour
3-4 cups rye flour
Preheat oven to 350 ° F (180 ° C).
In a large bowl, combine olive oil (extra-virgin olive oil is more
expensive, but lower grade olive oils are blended with other vegetable oils
that may contain corn or soy), garlic and parsley. Heat the beef broth (it's
best to make your own, canned or condensed broths have added salt, sugars,
and preservatives) or water until steaming and add to the olive oil mixture.
Stir in barley flour and let cool until lukewarm -- or cool enough to work
with. Gradually blend in rye flour, adding enough to form a stiff dough.
Transfer to a floured (rye flour) surface and knead until smooth (about 3-5
minutes). Shape the dough into a ball, and roll to 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick.
Use the cookie cutter of your choice (we prefer to make small bones) or cut
into small squares. Transfer to ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about
1/4 inch (6 mm) apart. Gather up the scraps, roll out again, and cut
additional biscuits.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and turn over. Bake for an additional
30 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides. After you finish baking all
batches of biscuits, turn off the oven, spread all the biscuits in one
baking pan and set them in the oven to cool for a few hours or overnight.
The extra time in the oven as it cools off helps make the treats crunchier.
Makes several dozen small treats that keep and freeze well.

8. BEAGLE BAGELS
Unlike the human variety, these little canine bagels are crunchy. To soften
them, for the occasional treat of bagels with cream cheese or peanut butter,
microwave for about 30 seconds.
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 package yeast (1/4 ounce)
1 cup chicken or beef broth, warmed*
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup unbleached white flour
Preheat oven to 375°. In large bowl combine the whole wheat flour with the
yeast. Add 2/3 cup chicken broth and honey and beat for about 3 minutes.
Gradually add the remaining flour. Knead the dough for a few minutes until
smooth and moist, but not wet (use reserve broth as necessary). Cover the
dough and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Divide the dough into about 15-20
pieces, rolling each piece into a smooth ball. Punch a hole into each ball
with your finger or end of spoon and gently pull the dough so the hole is
about a 1/2" wide. Don't be too fussy here, the little bagels rise into
shape when they bake. Place all the bagels on a greased cookie sheet and
allow to rise 5 minutes. Bake for 25 minutes. Turn the heat off and allow
the bagels to cool in the oven.

12. BONE A FIDOS
2 1/4 teaspoons Dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water -- (liquid measure)
1 Pinch sugar
3 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
2 cups Whole wheat flour
2 cups Cracked wheat
1 cup Rye flour
1/2 cup Nonfat dry milk
4 teaspoons Kelp powder
4 cups Beef broth -- or chicken
GLAZE:
1 large egg
2 tablespoons Milk
Equipment: Cookie sheets lined with parchment or aluminum foil; rolling pin;
3-31/2" bone cutter or 2 1/2" round cookie cutter.
Place 2 oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Preheat oven
to 300 degrees.
Sprinkle the dry yeast or crumple the compressed yeast over the water (110
degrees if dry yeast, 100 degrees if compressed yeast). Add a pinch of sugar
and allow the yeast to sit in a draft-free spot for 10 - 20 minutes. The
mixture should be full of bubbles. If not, the yeast is too old to be
useful.
In a large bowl, place all the dry ingredients and stir to blend them. Add
the yeast mixture and 3 cups of the broth. Using your hands, in the bowl,
mix to form the dough, adding more broth if needed to make the dough smooth
and supple. Half a batch at a time, knead the dough briefly on a lightly
floured counter. (Keep the second batch of dough covered with a moist towel
while shaping and cutting the fast.)
Roll out the dough into an 18 x 13 x 1/4" rectangle. Cut it into desired
shapes, using a 3 - 3 l/2-inch bone cutter or a 2 l/2-inch round cookie
cutter. Re-roll the scraps. Repeat the procedure with the remaining dough.
For an attractive shine, lightly beat together the egg and milk. Brush the
glaze on the cookies. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until brown and firm.
For even baking rotate the cookie sheets from top to bottom three quarters
of the way through the baking period. Use a small, angled metal spatula or
pancake turner to transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature. The dough must be used
immediately. The baked cookies will keep for many months.
Allow cookie sheets to cool completely between batches.

34. CROCKPOT DOGGIE STEW
1 lb ground lamb (ground beef, mackerel or salmon can be substituted)
1 1/2 c brown rice (up to)
3 md potatoes
2 stalks brocolli
3 md carrots
4 cloves garlic
1/2 onion
1 sheet kombu; sea kelp -(optional)
I cook this in a crockpot. You can use an iron kettle or dutch oven on the
stove on low. Preparation only takes about 20 minutes and makes about 10 to
14 (8ounce) bags, that are frozen.
Brown/steam lamb in frypan. After it gets going, put in the chopped garlic
and onions to brown. Boil water, put about 4 or 5 cups into the
crock/kettle, so it is already hot while you are fixing the rest of the
ingredients. Add cubed potatoes to the frypan. Cut brocolli and add this to
the crock. Put the rest of the works in the crock, add enough hot water to
cover (on my standard crock, this is about 1 inch from the top.) Add salt
and pepper to taste. Throw in 1.5 cup of brown rice & mix, then plug the
crockpot in and cook on low for 8 hours or so.
I do this the night before and let it cook while I sleep, then I turn it off
in the morining and leave it in the crockpot until I get back from work, so
the stew has cooled enough to where I can put it into baggies (plastic bags
and twist ties). I use a small yogurt container to hold the sandwich bags
and scoop 8 oz. into each bag. I freeze them all up (10 to 14 bags) and put
one frozen bag in the fridge from the freezer to thaw for the next day.
Takes about 15 mins. to bag up.
My dog gets 4oz (half a bag) added to her Nurto's Lamb & Rice kibble dog
food in her morning and evening meal. I put half in a frypan with water to
warm up. She thinks this is Ambrosia! If you want to make a milder mix, for
your dog that might be having intestinal problems, boil and drain the lamb
before you put it in the crock. I normally don't do this because a lot of
the flavor is in the drippings. You can also subtitute ground beef for the
lamb if you can't find lamb. If you feed your dog chicken, you can
substitute chopped or ground chicken.

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.

113. SOFT DOGGIE COOKIES
Definitely something to howl about! Cookies are soft and chewy (good for
older pets who have lost a few teeth). And they can be whipped up in no
time.
3 jars baby food -- (2 1/2 oz. each) either beef, chicken or beef/vegetable
1/4 cup dry milk powder
1/4 cup wheat germ (cream of wheat can be substituted for wheat germ)
Combine ingredients in bowl and mix well. Roll into small balls and place on
well-greased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork. Bake in preheated
350F. oven for 15 minutes until brown. Cool on wire racks and STORE IN
REFRIGERATOR. Also freezes well.
*Variation: Substitute cream of wheat for wheat germ and then use tablespoon
to make cookie sized drops on plate. Microwave for 4 minutes on Medium-High.
Suggest keeping an eye on them in microwave and perhaps start out for only 3
1/2 minutes. They do come out soft.

114. SPICED DOG BISCUITS
1 1/2 c unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 c whole-wheat flour
1/2 c cornmeal
2 tb nonfat dry milk powder
1 ts ground cinnamon
1 ts ground nutmeg
1 1/2 ts ground allspice
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 c water (use 1 to 1-1/4 cups water)
Stir together flours, cornmeal, dry milk powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and
allspice in a large bowl. Add egg, then begin adding water gradually,
stirring with a wooden spoon. Add just enough water to produce a very stiff
dough. If you add too much water and dough is no longer stiff, add a little
more flour. Knead the dough with your hands to create a smooth texture.
Preheat oven to 350øF. Roll out dough 1/4 inch thick. (It helps if the top
and bottom of the dough are lightly floured.) Use a cookie cutter to cut out
biscuits. Place biscuits about 1/2 inch apart on lightly greased cookie
sheets. Bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. The biscuits should be lightly
browned and should not be moist inside. Turn off oven and leave biscuits
inside without opening oven door for 5 hours, or overnight, to let them
harden. Store in an airtight container. Yield: About 4 dozen (3-by-1-inch)
biscuits.

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 Tbs. baking powder
1/3-1/2 cup raisins
1 egg, beaten
1 cup carob chips

stir to combine.
6) Turn to floured board and knead 2-3 minutes until thoroughly mixed and
holding together.
7) Roll out to 1/4 inch thick and cut to desired shapes. (I make 1 inch
squares and use a pastry cloth)
8) On half of shapes, brush with egg and place 2-? raisins (depending on
size of shape)
9) Place a "dry" shape on top and press edges to seal
10) Bake at 375 degrees for 25-35 min. or until lightly brown. Let cool on a
rack.
11) Melt carob chips and drizzle on treats, or can dip
( I have found that dipping can cause them to become a little "soggy" in
humid weather, I prefer to drizzle one side, allow to dry, and drizzle other
side. This allows for air circulation )
12) Let sit overnight and store in covered container.
