oven to 300 degrees. Sprinkle the dry yeast or crumble the
compressed yeast over the water. Add the pinch of sugar and allow
yeast to sit in a draft-free spot for 10 - 20 minutes.
The mixture should be full of bubbles. If not, the yeast is too old to be
useful. Stir well to dissolve the yeast. In a large bowl, place all the dry
ingredients and stir well to blend them. Add the yeast mixture and 3
cups broth.
Using your hands, in the bowl, mix to form the dough adding more
broth if needed to make the dough smooth and supple. Half a batch at
a time, knead the dough briefly on a lightly floured counter. (Keep the
second batch of dough covered with a moist towel while shaping and
cutting the first.)

shapes using 3 1/2" one cutter or 2 1/2" cookie cutter. Re-roll the
scraps. Repeat procedure with remaining dough.
For an attractive shine, lightly beat together the egg and the milk.
Brush the glaze on the cookies. Bake for 45 - 60 min. or until brown
and firm. For even baking, rotate the cookie sheets from top to bottom
3/4 of the way thru the baking period. Use a small, angled metal
spatula to transfer the cookie to wire racks to cool completely before
using for the next batch.

1 can beef broth -- (13 3/4 to 14 1/2 ounces)3/4 cup milk
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In small bowl, combine yeast,
sugar, and 1/4 cup warm water (105 degrees to 115 degrees F.). Let
stand until yeast foams, about 5 minutes.
2. In very large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour,
cornmeal, oats, mint, parsley, and wheat germ. With wooden spoon,
stir in yeast mixture, broth, and milk until combined. With hands,
knead dough in bowl until blended, about 1 minute.
3. Divide dough in half. Cover 1 piece with plastic wrap to prevent
drying out. Place remaining piece of dough on lightly floured surface.
With floured rolling pin, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. With large
(about 5 inches) or small (about 2 inches) cookie cutter, such as
bone* or mailman, cut out as many biscuits as possible, reserving
trimmings. With spatula, transfer biscuits to large ungreased cookie
sheet. Reroll trimmings and cut more biscuits. Repeat with remaining
dough.
4. Bake small biscuits 30 minutes, bake large biscuits 40 minutes. Turn
oven off; leave biscuits in oven 1 hour to dry out.
5. Remove biscuits from cookie sheet to wire rack. When cool, store at
room temperature in tightly covered container up to 3 months.
Yields: about 4 dozen large biscuits or 24 dozen small biscuits Work
Salmon Treats
1 can salmon, canned, pink
1/2 cup chopped parsley
3 eggs -- shells included
1/2 cup sesame seeds -- ground in coffee grinder
1/2 cup flax seeds -- ground in coffee grinder
2 cups potato flour -- (2 to 3)
Put these ingredients into a food processor, mix VERY WELL. Pour
potato flour through the opening while the motor is running. I can't tell
you exactly how much, but I would guess about 2-3 cups. When the
dough forms, like a pie crust, and rolls into a ball it is ready to take
out. Dump this mess onto potato floured counter or board. Knead
more flour into this and when it is a rolled out cookie consistency, it is
ready to roll out into about 14 inch thick. I use a pizza cutter to roll
our long strips and then cut crosswise to make small squares . If you
want FANCY you may use a cookie cutter. Bake on cookie sheets,
sprayed Pam or line the sheet with parchment paper. I put in as many
as will fit. Usually two whole cookie sheets suffices. I bake this in a
375º oven for 20 min. Turn and rotate the cookie sheets and bake
about 10 more minutes. You can make them as soft or as hard as you
want.
