Recipe from Some for Me...One For You

Tomato puree is lower in sodium than diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, or pizza sauce.  It also has a nice strong flavor. Pureed tomatoes contain 40mg sodium in ½ cup versus 710mg for pizza sauce. 

*If you have Italian seasoning, check the label to make sure it does not contain garlic or onion.  If it does, then leave it out of Polly’s Favorite Mamma Mia Pizza Dog Biscuits on the next page and substitute basil.  Garlic and onion powder can be toxic to dogs, as well as mushrooms.

 2 (8-inch) whole wheat tortilla shells

½ cup canned tomato puree

1 tsp Italian seasoning* or basil

1 Tbsp honey (optional)

4 Tbsp grated carrot and/or zucchini

4 sliced mushrooms  (toxic to dogs)

4 Tbsp roasted red pepper (directions next page)

6 Tbsp part-skim mozzarella cheese

       Per serving (makes 2):  240 calories, 8g fat (3g saturated), 11mg
       cholesterol, 310mg sodium, 32g carbohydrate, 7g fiber, 10g protein

 Directions 

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.  Coat a baking sheet with vegetable spray.  Combine tomato puree with Italian seasoning or basil, and honey (optional).  Spread ¼ cup of the tomato mixture on ½ of each tortilla. Top each half with ½ of the vegetables and 3 Tbsp cheese.  Fold tortillas in half

2. Bake the pizza tortilla for 5 minutes on one side (or until slightly brown) and turn over and continue to bake for an additional 5 minutes. Or you can place the tortilla on a panini maker or electric grill with a lid that closes.  Heat until tortilla browns.

 **To roast red pepper: clean and cut red pepper in half.  Remove seeds and place cut side down on a cookie sheet lined with foil.  Press flat.  Place under a broiler and broil until skin turns black.  Remove from oven and place pepper in a brown paper bag for about 1 hour.  Skin will then easily peel off.  Cut up red pepper and use immediately or freeze.  I usually roast several at a time, cut them up, and place each pepper in a mini plastic snack bag and freeze.  Add the peppers to vegetables, spaghetti, pizza, scrambled eggs ...  anything that needs a flavor boost!

  Okay, now make Polly’s Favorite Mamma Mia Pizza Dog Biscuits – she’ll share!

Polly's Favorite Mamma Mia Pizza Dog Biscuits

  Polly is my pizza dog!  Mamma barkin’ mia these are good!  Remember NOT to add mushrooms to the dog biscuits.  Mushrooms are toxic to dogs.  

 *Check the Italian seasoning to make sure it does not contain garlic or onion powder, which can be toxic to dogs.   If it does, then use basil in this recipe. 

   1 cup whole grain yellow cornmeal or brown rice flour

   1/2 cup 100% whole grain oats

   2 Tbsp wheat germ or milled flax seed

   1/4 cup canned tomato puree

   1 tsp Italian seasoning or basil *
 
   2 Tbsp canola oil

   3 Tbsp water (add more if needed)

       Per biscuit (makes 50 biscuits with 2½-inch dog bone shaped cookie
       cutter):  17 calories, 0.7g fat, 2.5g carbohydrate, 0.4g protein, 0.8mg   
       sodium

 Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a cookie sheet with vegetable spray.  In the mixing bowl of an electric mixer, add all the ingredients.  Mix about 1-2 minutes on medium speed, until ingredients are combined.  If too dry add more water (1 Tbsp at a time) and if too wet add cornmeal (1 Tbsp at a time) until a moist dough ball is formed.  Remove dough from bowl and divide into 2 balls.  Work with one dough ball at a time. Freeze the remaining dough ball if you don’t want to make all the biscuits at one time.

2. Spread a thin layer of flour on a large clean surface and roll out one of the dough balls into a large rectangle, until about ⅛-inch thick.   With a 2½-inch cookie cutter in the shape of a dog bone, cut out the biscuits.  Combine dough scraps and roll out until all the dough has been cut into bone shapes. Place biscuits on cookie sheet. 

 3. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.  For hard biscuits, turn off the oven and let the dog biscuits sit in the oven for 4 hours or overnight.  Store biscuits in a tin or bag.  For softer biscuits, remove cookie sheet from oven, cool biscuits on the cookie sheet and refrigerate baked biscuits.
