I made these simple Sourdough Dog Treats a couple of days ago and a few of you asked for the recipe. It’s quick and simple. On the Cat Treats, they do have egg in it so if your pet has a chicken or egg allergy DON’T make them. Unfortunately sourdough is not safe for cats so the recipes included don’t contain it. Pictured below is tge Sourdough Dog Treats that I made.
3 Ingredient Sourdough Dog Treats
1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup Sourdough Discard
1/4 cup Xylitol Free Peanut Butter
Preheat oven to 350*F
Mix all of the ingredients together using a stand mixer or by hand until combined. Knead by hand to ensure everything is mixed together completely and smoothly. Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness and cut out using your favorite cookie cutter. The size cookie cutter that you use will determine how many treats you have. This recipe easily doubles and quadruples. Place treats on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake treats 14-18 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 195-200*F. Cool treats on a cooling rack. Completely cool treats and place in an airtight container and stir in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze up to 8 months.
