Description
Simple, homemade dog kibble recipe featuring beef and pear for easy digestion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 large ripe pear, peeled and finely grated
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, whole wheat flour, grated pear, water, and egg. Mix until a stiff dough forms.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use a small cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into small, uniform kibble shapes.
- Place the pieces on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the kibbles are firm and lightly browned.
- Turn off the oven and let the kibbles cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar for extra crispness.
- Store cooled kibbles in an airtight container.
Notes
- You can adjust the water slightly if the dough is too dry or too wet.
- Ensure the pear is finely grated so it mixes evenly into the dough.
- For longer storage, you can dehydrate the kibbles further at a very low oven temperature (around 200°F or 95°C) for an additional hour after initial baking.
