Making the
To make these tasty peanut butter bacon dog treats, start by preheating your oven to 180C (or your local equivalent). This will ensure that your treats are baked to perfection.
First, gather all your baking ingredients and materials together. It's a good idea to have everything within easy reach to avoid any last-minute scrambles. The ingredients you'll need are peanut butter, egg, liquid, and bacon.
Combine these ingredients in a mixing bowl and get ready to mix. You'll need to add flour incrementally, mixing it in as you go, until you have a cohesive workable dough. The amount of flour required will vary depending on your individual ingredients and any optional add-ins or substitutions.
If you find that your dough is too dry, you can add a little bit of extra liquid, a small amount of olive oil, or additional flour to adjust its consistency. This is where experience comes in handy – you'll get a feel for how the dough should look and feel as you mix.
