Crunchy Sesame Rye Treats
(dog biscuits)
Yield: several dozen depending on the size of the cookie cutter
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup rye flour
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup cornmeal
- 1/3 cup sesame seeds
- 3/4 vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- Melted carob for dipping, if desired
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flours, oats, cornmeal and sesame seeds.
- In a small bowl, whisk together broth, water and oil and pour into the dry ingredients and stir to form a dough.
- Scoop out onto a lightly floured surface and knead, adding as much additional whole wheat flour as needed to make a dough that is smooth and not sticky. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out as many treats as you can, re-rolling the dough as necessary.
- Place
onto parchment-lined baking sheets and bake until crisp, about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Remove and transfer the treats to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If you want an extra special treat, dip half of each treat into melted carob (do NOT use chocolate) and place into the refrigerator to set the coating.
