Simple Doggie Bones
This is a fairly simple recipe that takes about one hour from start to finish.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1-1/2 cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 to 1 cup whole wheat flour

- Measuring spoons
- Measuring cups
- Rolling pin
- Cookie cutter shaped like a dog bone, sold at most pet stores
- Cookie sheet
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the dry yeast in a big bowl, and then add warm water. Wait for the yeast to dissolve and the substance to become foamy.
- Next add the parsley, chicken broth, honey, and one egg to the yeast. Mix the ingredients until well mixed.
- Add wheat flour to the mixture; just enough to make the mixture stiff (about 1/4 cup at a time).
- Knead the mixture on a floured surface until it forms a smooth ball. You can then roll the mixture out until the thickness is about 1/4 inch.
- Use a cookie cutter in the shape of a small bone to cut the mixture. Once you have the bones cut out, place them on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake the biscuits for 30 minutes on one side then flip to bake on the other side for 15 minutes.
- Let the treats cool over night before offering them to your dog.
