Sourdough Discard Dog Treats

The best damn dog treats, period!
What started as a way to use the extra starter and levain that would otherwise go to waste, turned into my dog’s absolute favorite treats.  When I bake these, he can hardly wait for them to come out of the oven.  Easy to make, natural and healthy for your pooch, and a great use for your sourdough discard... what’s not to love?
