Peanut Butter Dog Treats


2 1/2 C. whole wheat flour
1 t. baking powder
1 C. peanut butter
1 C. water
2 T. honey
1 egg

Mix well. Dough will be stiff.

Lay parchment paper on cookie sheet.

Roll dough on cookie sheet 1/2 inch thick.

Cut into desired shapes (I used a pizza cutter).

Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes.

It makes a lot.

I fill our dogs treat jar and freeze the rest for later refills.

Recipe from my friend R. Bowman

Basic White Bread

2 C. warm water (120˚F)

1/2 C. white sugar

1 1/2 T. active dry yeast (2 standard packets)

1 1/2 t. salt

1/4 C. vegetable oil
(help went a little overboard... but we made it work "in their eyes...")

6 C. bread flour


Directions:
1. In large bowl dissolve sugar in warm water.

Then add yeast.

Allow to proof. 

Mix salt and oil into proofed yeast, then slowly add flour.

Knead dough in mixer until smooth. Oil large bowl. 
 Roll dough out of bowl onto floured surface. Shape It.

Place shaped dough into oiled bowl. Flip dough making sure it is completely covered with oil. 

Cover bowl with a damp towel till dough rises to twice it's size. (thus the reason I prefer the clear pyrex bowls)
 Punch dough down and knead for a short time. Divide in half. Shape into loaves and place in 2 oiled loaf pans.

Allow to rise 1 inch past top of loaf pans.

Preheat oven to 350˚F.


Bake for 30 minutes.
