For a base recipe, I used an eggless formula that
Basic Biscotti
Makes 42 Small Pieces
2 tbsp ground flax seed
1/3 cup hot water
1 1/3 cups flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup canola oil
3/4 cups sugar
- Preheat oven to 375, place the rack in the upper third of the oven.
- Whisk together the flaxseed and hot water, set aside.
- Mix the flours, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Seperately, beat together the oil, sugar and flaxseed slurry.
- Add the dry ingredients and beat until well incorporated.
- Divide the dough into 3 balls, knead each to smooth out.
- Add extra ingredients at this point, keeping the consistency fairly sticky.
- With floured hands, shape each ball into a 9" log, flattening slightly, and place on a lightly greased and floured cookie sheet.
- Bake for 25 minutes in the upper third of the oven. Reposition the oven rack to the middle position.
- With a sharp serated knife, cut each log into 14 slices.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake 5 to 7 minutes.

Here's what I did to make Brandy's biscotti:
- Swapped the whole wheat flour for rolled oats
- Added about 3 tbsp of dehydrated veggies, as well as 1 envelope each beef and chicken bouillon to the oil mixture
- Used olive oil
- Cut sugar to 1/4 cup
- Added 1/4 cup buttermilk powder
- Added 2 tbsp cheddar cheese powder
- Doubled the salt
- Added about 1/4 cup extra water
Basically, it was fun to play around with the different ingredients in a basic recipe. The result is perfectly edible for people too, I'm sure, but I don't think the puppy will give up her share any time soon!
One very lucky puppy! She does love her veggies though, carrots, green and red pepper, asparagus, green beans, etc ;-) Brandy want's to know if she can help mix?
ReplyDeleteThat was really sweet of you! My dog's 1st birthday is coming up - it's great to have something to bake for him that he's SUPPOSED to eat!
ReplyDeleteVery good to the dog - these certainly look good enough for humans to eat - and vegan dogs should be ok, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteBrandy just loves the "cookies" and leaves not a crumb for her buddies!
