How to make doughnuts of dogs
Your dog will love it and your friends really will be amazed! This recipe took time. First I bought a doughnut maker which used a batter to make a doughnut shaped pancake then I tried using carob as a choc substitute to make a lovely looking choc icing but my dog Ruby hated it no matter how much I tried to make it more appetising. Carob sucks and dogs don’t like it. Other dog treat recipes on the web use it to to replace choc chip in cookies or to replace choc in other recipes but they use it to sell the recipe to YOU the owner, it’s not there for the dog! With this recipe I tried adding meat and other things to the batter/dough but it would either stop the doughnut rising, unbalance the scientific chemistry of baking or make it splat in the doughnut maker. I decided to stop making a doughnut for me or for you and just concentrate on making a doughnut that catered for the dog. So after days of testing and throwing away dozens of failed attempts I put aside the doughnut maker and finally found a recipe that works but that meant getting back to the basics and making real doughnuts by frying them and then using a real nice flavor for the filling to make them an extra special dog treat!
I hope you like it! My dog Ruby does! 🙂
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon (1 sachet) of Yeast, 225 grams of plain flour, 1 1/4 tablespoons of sugar (if you don’t want to use sugar you could try 1 tablespoon of honey but I don’t regard it as a lot of sugar for 30 doughnuts), 150ml of milk, 50g of butter, 1 egg, 500ml oil for frying
Ingredients for example fillings
Chicken liver pate: 400grams of chicken liver, 110grams of butter, 1 garlic clove
Cream cheese: 200 grams of cream cheese, 50grams of butter
METHOD
Add a sachet of yeast to a bowl (1 tablespoon)
Add 2 tablespoons of warm milk
Add 1/4 tablespoon of sugar and mix and leave somewhere warm.
Sieve 225 grams of flour into a bowl.
Ruby's so nosey!
Yeast mix has risen!
Add yeast mix to flour along with the remaining milk (warm), butter (warm), egg and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Cover and leave for 30 minutes so it can rise.
Add some flour to worktop and slap on dough and knead.
Divide dough into 30 balls. They are small at the moment but they will get a lot bigger!
Place dough balls on baking tray and put into a lightly warm over with the door open for half an hour.
30 mins later and they have doubled in size
The dough-balls are very light and delicate. Add oil to pot and heat oil to (180-190°C). Add 4 doughnut balls at a time. They will take just seconds to cook on one side!
Seconds later and they need turned over to cook on the other side
They cook very quick. Leave cooked doughnuts on kitchen paper and cook them four at a time until they are all done like this!
CHICKEN LIVER PATE FILLING
Melt 110 grams of butter in a pot and add a crushed clove of garlic
Add 400 grams of chicken liver
Cook until liver is cooked all the way through
Blend till nice and smooth!
Use a knife to make a slit on doughnut and pipe in chicken liver pate
CREAM CHEESE FILLING
Add 200 grams of cream cheese and 50 grams of butter to a bowl.
Place in microwave for 10-20 seconds to soften and use hand blender to mix
Make a slit in doughnut and pipe in cream cheese
Great recipe but just a quick note for the chicken liver pate…dogs aren’t actually allowed to eat garlic, it releases toxins and can be very poisonous to dogs and cats.
It’s nearly 10pm and what am I doing,? Most people will be getting ready for bed or ready in bed. But me, the one with 2 demanding pups, I’m making doughnuts for them. That’s right doughnuts .The live cake I make them goes down a storm. I’m hoping the doughnuts will too. Liver cake is how I get my little munchkins to behave, yell “who wants cake”, the both immediately stop what they are doing. ? thanks for the recipes, Fudge and Axl greatly appreciate it.
I was shocked to see your use of garlic cloves in your filling for your dog as garlic is very poisonous for dogs as are onions, raisins, grapes to name a few. Please stop giving your dog garlic and do your research on nasty stuff for your dogs wellbeing. Apart from that I am going to try your recipe for my 2 dogs minus the garlic. Thanks
