==Directions==
# Equipment: cookie sheets lined with parchment or aluminum foil; rolling pin; 3-3½" bone cutter or 2 ½" round cookie cutter.
# Place 2 oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven.
# Preheat oven to 300°F.
# Sprinkle the dry yeast or crumple the compressed yeast over the water (110f if dry yeast, 100°F if compressed yeast).
# Add a pinch of sugar and allow the yeast to sit in a draft-free spot for 10-20 minutes.
# The mixture should be full of bubbles.
# If not, the yeast is too old to be useful.
# In a large bowl, place all the dry ingredients and stir to blend them.
# Add the yeast mixture and 3 cups of the broth.
# Using your hands, in the bowl, mix to form the dough, adding more broth if needed to make the dough smooth and supple.
# Half a batch at a time, knead the dough briefly on a lightly floured counter.
# Keep the second batch of dough covered with a moist towel while shaping and cutting the first
# Roll out the dough into an 18 x 13 x ¼" rectangle.
# Cut it into desired shapes, using a 3 - 3½-inch bone cutter or a 2½-inch round cookie cutter.
# Reroll the scraps.
# Repeat the procedure with the remaining dough.
# For an attractive shine, lightly beat together the egg and milk.
# Brush the glaze on the cookies.
# Bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until brown and firm.
# For even baking, rotate the cookie sheets from top to bottom three quarters of the way through the baking period.
# Use a small, angled metal spatula or pancake turner to transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
# Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
# The dough must be used immediately.
# The baked cookies will keep for many months.
# Allow cookie sheets to cool completely between batches.
