Cheese & A Whole Lot Of Love

Molly (our dog) has finished all of the homemade dog biscuits we made a few weeks ago, so we went through the recipe book and picked a second one to try out. Once again, from the recipe book 'A La Bark Baking' by Kris Owen and every book sold raises money for homeless dogs, so with that and the fact that obviously dogs love the recipes, I highly recommend it! Your dog will love you even more if you do!

So the recipe we picked today is Chester's Cheesy Chomps because Molly (and I) love cheese.

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup (60g) wholemeal flour

1 cup (100g) oats

1 1/4 cups (100g) grated cheese (preferably cheddar)

1/2 cup (40g) grated parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 - 3/4 cup (100-150ml) water

Preheat the oven to 180°C / gas mark 4

and cover a baking tray with baking paper.

Makes about 24 middle-sized biscuits.

You can either:

Mix all of the ingredients except the oil and water together in a large bowl and then add the oil and stir, then add sufficient water to make the dough stick into on ball.

Or:

If you have a good sized food processor, chop your cheese then add all the other dry ingredients. Pulse the processor and add the oil and the water slowly. Stop as soon as the dough sticks into one ball. Biscuits made in the processor have a smoother consistency as the oats will have been chopped, but they still taste great!

Place the ball onto a floured surface and roll out gently with a floured rolling pin.

Aim to have your dough about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick.

and place onto the baking tray.

Cook in the centre of the oven for 25-30 minutes & wait :)

or until they start to turn slightly golden. And they're done!
