Dog Biscuits

-
I saw this recipe a while ago in one of my cookbooks, it was my brother's dog's birthday last week so I thought it was the perfect chance to give them ago. They are fairly easy to make and would be great Christmas gifts for any dog lovers out there. 

So to start with combine the wholemeal flour, bread flour, salt and brown sugar into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the eggs and the vegetable oil. Dissolve the milk powder in the water and add to the mixture.

Mix together to form a firm dough that is smooth and workable. At this time you may need to adjust the mixture by add a little more flour or water. Cover the dough in the bowl and set aside to relax for 15-20 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 190 degrees Celsius.

Roll out the dough to about 1 cm thick. Cut the biscuits with a bone shaped cookie cutter (if you don't have one, like me, just use whatever you have. I used a car and a medium sized gingerbread man). Place the biscuits on to a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Bake in the oven for approximately 40 minutes or until they are hard and dried out. Once removed from the oven allow them to cool completely before placing in an air tight container.



Well these biscuits passed the real test, Dallas (my brother's dog) really liked them and his is a fussy eater. There is really no ingredients in them that is not easily purchased and nothing that would be bad for you dog. The best thing is you know what went into them!

Until next time, Happy Cooking Kate.

Rhubarb Jelly

I made Pork for mother's day. (Will post shortly). To go with the Roast Pork I made Rhubarb jelly. Lets get started in a large stock pot place the rhubarb, apple and lemon juice and seeds. Pour over 1.5 litres of water. Bring the pot to a simmer over a medium heat. Once simmering reduce the heat and cook for 1- 1 1/4 hours until pulpy. Strain through a muslin-lined sieve. It should make 1 litre. Do not push the pulp throught the sieve it will make the jelly cloudy. Pour the liquid into a clean saucepan and add the sugar. Stir over a medium to high heat until the sugar resolves. Simmer the mixture until the mixture reaches setting point. To check if it is at setting point chill a saucer in the freezer. Return to the freezer for 1 minutes. If the mixture wrinkles it is ready. Remove from heat, stand for 10 minutes. Remove any scum from the surface and stir in the vinegar. Ladle into sterilised jars. Add a rosemary sprig to each, seal and stand until cooled to room temp...

Peri Peri BBQ Chicken Pizza

This recipe combines some flavours that I really like. And is there anything better that a home made pizza. I have posted my recipe for pizza bases on my lamb pizza  post earlier this year. This recipe is amazing and the more times that you make it the easier it gets! Now for the topping, you can cook this on your BBQ, if you have a BBQ with a hood, otherwise you can grill the chicken and onion in a grill pan on a hot plate. Spray the capsicum with some oil and put into an oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20-30 minutes until the skin begins to black. (If you are doing on your BBQ place them onto the grill and cook until charred all over. Turning as required.) Once cooked place into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow it to stand for 5 minutes. Peel the skin off and deseed. Cut up to your desired size. While you are waiting for the capsicum to seam in the bowl, process the garlic, chilli, paprika and oregano until finely chopped. Add the lemon juice and oil and continue t...

Spice Rub Butterflied Chicken

I has been pretty hot here in Melbourne for the last couple of week and I also haven't had an oven😢 So I was looking for something to cook on the BBQ. I am a fan of butterflied chicken because it cooks quicker than a traditional roast. I also like that it is easier to get marinade to stay on the bird while you are trying to cook it. I made this for my family and some of them, not naming names, aren't huge fans of chilli, so I reduce the amount of flakes that I used. However if I was making it for myself I wouldn't hesitate to use the full amount. I don't think that the full quantity would be to hot at all. Obviously depending on the type of flakes that you use. Preheat your oven or hooded BBQ to 200 degrees Celsius.  I prefer to butterfly my own chickens. It is really easy and once you have done it once or twice and you know where to cut you will never buy one again pre-cut. I suggest watching one of the many videos on YouTube. It will give you the added visua...
