Dog Bread Recipe: Angel Bread

I believe our dogs are heaven sent Angels, and they certainly deserve to have Angel bread for afternoon tea!

Servings:

1 loaf of Angel Bread

Ingredients:

• 5 cups bread flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 3/4 cup Crisco shortening
• 2 ½ teaspoons yeast
• 2 cups buttermilk

Methods:

1. Dissolve yeast in warm water (about 1/2 cup) – sift dry ingredients into large mixing bowl, cut in shortening with a pastry blender – stir in buttermilk, work into a dough.
2. Spray Ziploc bag with Pam or other veggie spray – dump dough into bag, zip up and keep in fridge (it will rise in the bag).
3. The dough lasts about a week in the fridge – you pinch off what you need, roll or shape into 1/2-inch thick biscuits and bake at 400° for 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Special author’s note:

I’ve kept the dough longer than a week in the fridge and found it to be as good the last day as it was the first.
