Ingredients

 * 2½ cups all purpose flour
 * 2 cups whole wheat flour
 * 1 cup rolled oats
 * ½ cup wheat germ (I use honey nut wheat germ)
 * ½ cup cornmeal
 * 14½ oz can beef or chicken broth (or make your own)
 * ½ cup non-fat dry milk
 * 1 tsp salt
 * 1 pkg dry yeast
 * ¼ cup warm water
 * 1 tbsp milk
 * 1 beaten egg

Directions

 * 1) Dissolve yeast in ¼ cup warm water and let proof.
 * 2) Warm the broth to about 110°F.
 * 3) In large bowl, mix 2 flours, oats, wheat germ, corn meal, dry milk and salt.
 * 4) Stir in broth and yeast mixture.
 * 5) Knead by hand for at least 3 minutes. Don't skimp on the kneading time!
 * 6) Roll into a ½" thick sheet and cut with cookie cutter, or roll into a log shape and slice to desired size.
 * 7) Mix the egg and milk and brush on before baking.
 * 8) Bake at 300°F for about 40 minutes ( a little longer if they're big).
 * 9) Turn off oven and leave in overnight (the longer you leave them in the warm oven, the crunchier they get).
 * 10) Haven't met a dog in the park yet who doesn't love these all natural healthy treats!.
