Tofu and Seitan

This is the SEITAN recipe I’ve used with the most success. Now keep in mind it’s very plain. It’s not a jacked up version like the Post Punk one…this one means you have to add alot of the flavour later when using it in it’s final dish…but it’s been working well for me!

* PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 F*

1 cup Vital Wheat Gluten

3 tbsp nutritional yeast

1/2 cup cold veggie broth (this is where you can put your FLAVOUR. Simmer it with spices, herbs, veg whatever and let cool)

1/4 cup soy sauce (this makes a darker seitan, if you want a lighter coloured one, put less and sub H2O for rest, or Braggs)

1 tbsp EVOO

2 cloves garlic- minced very finely

— Mix what gluten and yeast together in one bowl

— In another bowl mix all wet ingredients and add garlic

— Pour WET into DRY and mix fast with a fork till a ball forms

— Knead in the bowl for approx 3 minutes. Too much kneading will result in too tough a product.

— Roll out your dough into a log; remember it’s VERY elastic so this part may be challenging but keep at it because it IS possible….

— Wrap super tight in a some tinfoil and twist the ends tightly, forming a nice tight shiny log :-)

— Put in oven for about 90 minutes.

— Once time is up remove from foil and let cool. Then saute up and use in your fave recipes!

Wrap in foil tightly before baking

Once done baking, remove from foil- and it might deflate and look really weird but that's cool...
