Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups vital wheat gluten
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup mushroom stock
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetarian worcestershire sauce

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix together the liquid ingredients in a smaller bowl, then stir them into the dry ingredients until completely blended. Knead the dough in the bowl for a couple minutes, then place on a sheet of foil and shape into a log about 6 to 8 inches long. Wrap the foil tightly around the log and twist the ends.
  • Bake for 80 minutes (this will be firm with a slightly crispy outside -- if you like your seitan a little "spongy", maybe bake for 60 to 70 minutes).
  • Slice or chop as desired, and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator or freezer.
