Ingredients
  • 1½ cups vital wheat gluten
  • 2 Tablespoons white flour
  • 2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¾ cup vegetable broth
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy or Tamari sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • For the cooking broth:
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 2 carrots, cut into medium pieces
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tomato, quartered
Instructions
  1. In a large pot, add all the cooking broth ingredients. Bring to a boil as you're preparing the seitan dough.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
  3. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the broth, oil, and soy/tamari sauce.
  4. Create a small crater in the dry ingredients, add the liquid ingredients, and whisk together.
  5. Knead the dough for about five minutes, until it is fairly smooth and has a rubbery texture.
  6. Divide in half and form into two loaves.
  7. Add to the boiling cooking broth and reduce the heat to medium-low.
  8. Simmer for 50 minutes, turning once about halfway through.
  9. Allow the seitan to cool in the cooking broth.
  10. Use immediately or transfer to a storage container and cover with the strained cooking broth for up to a week. It can also be frozen (without the broth).
