Seitan. how to make it sucessfully

[Guest guest]

Hi Carol:

 

Please check out the recipe folder under 'substitutes for meats "

 

resetalleo has a good description there of how to make seitan, and Judy as well

I think

 

Also, you can find several videos on youtube.com - in the search field type " how

to make seitan "

 

It's super-easy though... in a nutshell, mix gluten with water and spices, knead

it to form a dough, cut into half of the size you want, boil it in something

flavorful, and eat it (you can do all kinds of other stuff with it too).  To

make from regular flour, make a thick dough of flour, salt and water (5 cups

flour, 2.5 cups water, 2 T salt is a good ratio), knead or mix until dough no

longer sticks to your fingers, then put in large strainer under running water,

and keep 'washing' the dough, until the water runs clear under the strainer...

th ere's your gluten, enjoy and good luck

 

hope that gets you started, have fun
