Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour Provides complex carbohydrates for sustained energy and dietary fiber for healthy digestion.
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Applesauce A natural source of fiber and vitamins, offering a touch of sweetness and moisture.
  • 1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth Adds flavor and essential moisture, supporting hydration. Ensure it is truly low-sodium and free from harmful additives.
  • 1 Egg A fantastic source of protein and healthy fats, contributing to a shiny coat and overall health.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Provides essential fatty acids for skin and coat health, and adds a touch of richness.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Helps create a lighter, crispier texture for the biscuits.
  • pinch Salt Optional, only if your dog tolerates a tiny amount and it's suitable for their diet.

Equipment

  • - Oven
  • - Baking Sheet
  • - Parchment Paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Medium-sized bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Cookie cutters

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt (optional, only if your dog tolerates a tiny amount and it's suitable for their diet). Whisk them together until well incorporated.
    2 cups Whole Wheat Flour, 1 teaspoon Baking Powder, pinch Salt
  3. In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, egg, and olive oil until smooth.
    1 cup Unsweetened Applesauce, 1 Egg, 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a stiff dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add a teaspoon of chicken broth at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. If too wet, add a tablespoon of flour.

  5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for about 1-2 minutes until it’s smooth and pliable.
  6. Roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness using a rolling pin.
  7. Use dog-bone shaped cookie cutters or a knife to cut out your biscuits.
  8. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch. They should feel and sound crunchy when tapped.
  10. Turn off the oven, prop the door open slightly, and let the biscuits cool completely inside. This helps them harden up and become extra crunchy.
