Flea-B-Gone Biscuits
1 cup flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup brewer’s yeast (available at health-food stores)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chicken stock plus 3 tablespoons for basting

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix flour, wheat germ, brewer’s yeast, and salt together. Add oil. Alternately add 1/2 cup chicken stock to the flour mixture in 3 parts; mix until well combined. Knead about 2 minutes by hand on floured surface; dough will be sticky.

2. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out about 3/8 inch thick. Cut out bone shapes or other fun dog treat shapes. Then, place on prepared baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes, rotate baking sheet, and baste with remaining 3 tablespoons chicken stock. Bake 10 minutes longer. Turn off oven, leaving oven door closed. Leave pan in oven for 1 1/2 hours longer to harden and cool. Remove from oven and let cool fully. Store in an airtight container.
