When cooler Autumn days return and Great British Bake Off is back on the television, many of us get the urge to do some baking. If you have a dog, then you’ll know that the mere suggestion of food being prepared will have a willing helper with a waggy tail immediately at your side. So why not bake some treats especially for your pup? National Baking Week takes place 14th – 20th October and is the perfect time to make this easy dog biscuit recipe.
Chicken and rice dog biscuit recipe
- 50 g (1/3 cup) cooked white rice
- 50g (1/3 cup) cooked chicken
- 250g (1 cup) buckwheat flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 150ml (2/3 cup) chicken stock
Preheat oven to 180oC fan (350oF) (190oC (370oF) for a conventional oven) or gas mark 4.
Blend cooked chicken, cooked rice, flour and salt in a food processor until mixture is smooth. Gradually add the egg and chicken stock and blend until it forms a smooth ball.
Place dough on a well-floured surface and knead until you have a drier dough. Roll out dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 1.5cm. Using a dog-inspired biscuit cutter (or cutters that spell out your favourite brand of dog guard), cut out biscuits until all the dough has been used.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven for approximately 17 minutes. Leave to cool and harden.
The dog treats can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
