Calories: 4200kcal

2-1/2 cups whole wheat flour (400g)
1-1/4 cups bread flour (180g)
1-2/3 cups wheat gluten flour (200g)
6 tbsp hemp hearts/hemp meal (60g)
1-1/8 cups VegeYeast or nutritional yeast (160g) If using nutritional yeast, see label to achieve 160 grams. You may need more than 1-1/8 cups.
5 tbsp Vegecat (59g)
4-1/4 tbsp sunflower, olive, or canola oil (63g)
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 tbsp soy sauce (34g) OR 3/4 tsp salt (4g)
3-1/32 cups water More or less as needed.

Preheat oven to 300°F (150˚C).
In a large mixing bowl, mix together all wet ingredients. We've found the entire 3-1/2 cups of water necessary but it is okay to leave some out and add later as needed.
Separately mix all dry ingredients well.
Add dry ingredients to wet and stir with a large strong spoon to form soft dough.
Flour hands and counter. Knead dough until smooth and elastic. Divide into two halves. Roll out each to fit a large cookie sheet. Chilled dough rolls out easier. Work dough into corners and prick with a fork to prevent bubbles. Bake 30 minutes. Don’t brown edges.
Remove from oven. Let cool slightly then remove from pan. Chill in freezer for 10 minutes to make cutting easier if desired.
With a large chef’s knife or pizza cutter, cut into kibble sized pieces (like a miniature checkerboard).
Place kibble pieces on cookie sheets.
Dry kibble in a warm oven set at its lowest temperature. Hot sunshine works as well. Dry until the pieces are brittle and don’t yield to finger pressure (about 2 hours).
Store in unrefrigerated covered containers.

Kibble will last up to 3 months if properly dried. Store in covered containers at room temperature.
