Delight your furry friend with these homemade cheesy garlic dog treats, perfect for rewarding good behavior or just showing some love.
Combine the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, wheat germ, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl.
Ensure the dry ingredients are well mixed to distribute the garlic powder evenly.
Add the egg, shredded cheddar cheese, and warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour; if too dry, add a splash of water.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1cm thickness.
Flour the rolling pin to prevent sticking.
Cut out shapes using a cookie cutter and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Use fun shapes to make the treats more appealing.
Bake in a preheated oven at 140°C for 2 hours until the treats are dry and hard.
Check the treats halfway through to ensure even baking.
Allow the treats to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
Cooling ensures the treats stay crisp and fresh.
