Apple Puppy Pretzels

in #dog7 years ago

INGREDIENTS 

  • 2 cups gluten-free oat flour
  • ¾ cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 egg, beaten

PREPARATION

1. Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C.

2. In a large bowl, add the oat flour, rolled oats, and applesauce.

3. In a separate small bowl, beat the egg. Pour all but 1 tablespoon of the egg over the flour mixture and set aside the remaining egg for brushing later.

4. Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture until a dough forms. The dough should be tacky but not overly sticky. Add a bit more or less flour as necessary.

5. Take a two tablespoon-sized piece of dough (approximate) and roll into a tube roughly the width of a pencil.

6. To make the pretzel, position the tube into a U-shape, then twist the ends around each other once. Using your fingertips, press the two ends into the bottom of the U to secure.

7. Place the pretzels onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with the remaining egg.

8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden.

9. Allow to cool on a wire rack and let your doggy enjoy!
