Calories: 4510kcal

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup VegeYeast or nutritional yeast (54g)
  • 2-1/8 to 2-1/2 tbsp Vegedog™ (30g)
  • 1/3 tsp salt (1.3g) OR 1/2 tbsp soy sauce (9g)
  • 5 cups whole wheat flour (778g)
  • 1-2/3 cups wheat gluten flour (75% protein) (200g)
  • 3 tbsp ground flaxseed (21g)
  • 1/4 cup sunflower oil (56g)
  • 1-1/3 cups (340g or 2 small cans) tomato paste
  • 4 cups water Use more or less as needed for dough.
  • 1/2 tbsp soy sauce Only add if salt was left out of dry ingredients.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F (150˚C)
  • Mix together VegeYeast or nutritional yeast, Vegedog, hemp protein powder, and salt (unless using soy sauce).
  • Add flours and mix well.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well with sturdy spoon to make dough.
  • Flour hands and counter top to keep dough from sticking. Empty the bowl onto the counter top. Knead the dough by folding it on itself several times until smooth, proceeding as if making a pie crust.
  • Roll dough to no more than 1/2” (1.25cm) thick and smooth in place on a cookie sheet, kneading into corners. Working with cold dough can be easier. Freeze or refrigerate for a short time if needed.
  • Prick the dough, from end to end and side to side, with a fork to prevent bubbles. You can make biscuits out of side strips.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Don’t bake so long that the edges get brown and brittle.
  • With a large chef’s knife or pizza cutter, cut the newly baked slab into 9 or 12 parts on a cutting board. Cut twice horizontally, and then cut vertically 2 or 3 times. Cut each of the resulting rectangles into kibble sized pieces by cutting first in one direction and then the other. Piece sizes are determined by the size of your dog.
  • Separate kibble pieces onto two or more cookie sheets and place in a warm oven (at its lowest temperature) for two or three hours, until crunchy dry. Direct sunshine makes an energy efficient drier, too. Kibble is dry enough when you can’t compress the pieces with finger pressure.
  • Refrigeration is unnecessary.
