Carrot and Chicken Sourdough Dog Cookies
I must admit my dog, Grus, has become a bit of a sourdough fiend. He knows when a loaf is baking and is more than happy to get some bread scraps as a snack. To make him even happier I’ve taken to making treats with sourdough discard. These soft and savory cookies flavored with chicken stock and loaded with oats and carrots are a recent creation he has been particularly enamored with. This is an easy way to treat your dog to something special (and use up some discard while your at it).
Ingredients
- 80 grams (1 cup) old fashioned oats
- 250 grams (1 cup) sourdough starter unfed/discard (100% hydration)
- 234 grams (1½ cups) whole wheat flour
- 100 grams (about 1 large) carrot coarsely grated
- 120 grams (½ cup) chicken stock homemade or unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- To a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment add oats, starter, flour, carrot, and stock. Mix until a cohesive dough forms.
- Scoop dough into 1 tablespoon balls and transfer to baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Flatten each with a fork in a crosshatch pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until completely set. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Keep refrigerated for longer storage.
