Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
- 1/2 cup dog-safe cheese (mozzarella)
- 1 egg
Flour Base:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
Liquid and Topping:
- 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
- Apple slices for topping
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a moderate temperature and prepare a baking surface with protective parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly blend the core ingredients until a cohesive dough materializes, ensuring no dry patches remain.
- Gently manipulate the dough on a lightly dusted work surface, transforming it into a circular pizza-like shape with smooth, even edges.
- Carefully transfer the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet, maintaining its structural integrity.
- Allow the crust to transform in the heated oven, developing a delicate golden hue and achieving a firm, stable texture.
- Remove the crust and let it rest momentarily to cool and stabilize its structure.
- Delicately spread a thin, uniform layer of creamy peanut butter across the surface, creating a smooth base.
- Sprinkle a moderate amount of cheese over the peanut butter layer, ensuring even distribution.
- Return the pizza to the oven for a brief period, allowing the cheese to melt and integrate with the peanut butter base.
- Extract from the oven and permit complete cooling to room temperature.
- Artfully arrange crisp apple slices atop the cooled pizza surface.
- Slice the creation into manageable, bite-sized portions suitable for canine consumption.
Notes
- Customize dough thickness based on your dog’s size and chewing preferences for easier consumption.
- Ensure peanut butter contains no xylitol, which is toxic to dogs, by carefully checking ingredient labels.
- Use low-fat cheese options to maintain healthy calorie intake for dogs with weight management needs.
- Consider replacing cheese with dog-safe yogurt for lactose-intolerant pups or to add probiotic benefits.
