Homemade seitan

I really love seitan and because it’s so simple to make I really have no excuse for not doing so more often.
Althought my last post was also an seitan recipe but this one (I had a recipe from the selling homepage, where I bought the wheatflower and changed it a little). It's really good i have to say so.

So back to the seitan.recipe

Log Seitan

Ingredients:

Dry

• 2 1/2 c vital wheat gluten
• 1/2 c chickpea flour
• 1/2 c nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder (I used garlic salt and omitted added salt)
• 1 tsp salt (optional)

Wet

• 1 3/4 c water (or veg broth)
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Bragg’s

Instructions:
Separately combine and mix wet and dry ingreds. Add both together.

Place seitan blob on a sprayed sheet of tin foil and roll it up like a tootsie roll.

Bake for 90 minutes at 325 degrees.
[From start to oven, this took under 5 minutes – does it get any easier than that?]

I realize the end result looks like nothing anyone should eat, but it smelled sooo good.

 

I was nervous about how hard it would be because it was very different from the seitan I usually make. Luckily, it was still semi-sponge-like (but definitely a more dry form).
