Flour a surface such as a countertop or cutting board and place dough on that surface. Knead dough until smooth. (Approximately 4-7 minutes) Shape dough into a ball and then roll out until dough is an even 1/2 inch thick. You may then use a cookie cutter to cut out various dog treat shapes or simply use a pizza cutter to make dog strips. Place on a non-stick cookie sheet, placing each biscuit about 1/4 inch apart.

Bake treats for 30 minutes. Make the glaze by whisking together the egg and broth. After removing biscuits from oven, brush biscuits with glaze on both sides. Return to oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Remove biscuits from oven and allow to cool overnight.
