Ingredients
- 3cups minced parsley
- ¼cup carrots chopped very fine
- ¼cup shredded mozzarella or grated Parmesan
- 2tablespoons olive oil or canola oil
- 2¾cups whole-wheat flour
- 2tablespoons bran
- 2teaspoons baking powder
- ½ to 1cup water
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, rack on the middle level.
- Step 2
Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
- Step 3
Stir together the parsley, carrots, cheese and oil. Stir together the flour, bran and baking powder, and mix well with the vegetables. Gradually add ½ cup water, mixing well. Add more water if necessary to make a moist but not wet dough. Knead for a minute.
- Step 4
Roll the dough out to ½-inch thick. Using a cookie cutter (preferably in the shape of a dog bone) or a glass, cut out shapes, and transfer them to the baking sheet. Gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut out more.
- Step 5
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the biscuits have browned and hardened slightly. (They will harden more as they cool.) Transfer to a rack to cool. Store in an airtight tin.
Private Notes
Comments
I made these per the recipe and have two suggestions: roll the biscuits out thinner &/or reduce the oven temperature and bake them for a good hour or so until they are completely dry. I stored them in an airtight jar on the countertop and they developed spots of mold 2 days after I made them, I believe due to the slight moisture present in the final biscuit.
