When cooler Fall days return and baking shows are back on TV, 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? We’ve got an easy healthy dog treat recipe your pup is going to love.
Chicken and rice dog treat 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 cookie cutter (or cutters that spell out your favourite brand of pet barrier), cut out the treats 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.
