Party Puppy Pizza - Dog Treat Recipes

Ingredients:
1 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup white flour
1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons wheat bran
2 tablespoons organic soy flour
2 tablespoons Beet Powder  or 1 tablespoon red food coloring
2 tablespoons raw sugar
1 tablespoon Anise Seed

Topping
½ cup yellow royal icing or White Yogurt Coating
2 tablespoons soy or real bacon bits

Directions:

• Put all the ingredients (except the icing) into your bread maker in the order suggested by the manufacturer.
• Set the bread maker for the dough cycle.
• When the dough is ready, remove it and divide it into 3 or 4 equal balls.
• Roll each ball into a sheet that is about 1/4” thick.
• Using a circle cookie cutter or a drinking glass, cut your circles and place them on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Cover the pizza crusts with a clean dish towel and let them rise in a warm place, away from drafts, for an hour.
• Bake the pizza crusts for 45-60 minutes at 300 degrees F. Check them after 30 minutes to make sure that they don't get too dark.
• Turn off the oven and let the pizza crusts finish drying in the oven overnight. They will be dry and crisp when they are completely dry.
• If you make the icing yourself, you can color it yellow (like cheese) with tumeric. Add a little at a time until you get the color that you want.
• Sprinkle soy bacon bits on top for the pizza topping. If you prefer, you can use real bacon bits instead.

Pets and Tomatoes
At times, I have made Puppy Pizzas gourmet dog treats using tomato paste for the sauce and real mozzarella cheese for the cheese.

If you do this, make sure that you refrigerate or freeze the pizzas, as they will start to get moldy in a few days if stored at room temperature. This is true for many gourmet dog treats that do not have preservatives!

IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER! EVER! give tomato products to a cat or kitten! While tomatoes are just fine for a dog, they can be deadly for a cat.
