Guest guest Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Fitzy, thanks for sharing your seitan experience. I make it often since my family enjoys it, and so do I in small quantities. I used to make it like you did, but now I am fortunate that I can order the vital wheat gluten from amazon.com, so it is much easier to do. I like freezing meal size portions after I make a large batch. If I understand you correctly, you deep fried half of the portion after kneading and this was raw seitan? how large were the pieces? did they expand as they do in broth? how did you add salt to it? after or before frying? am I full of questions or what? , " fitzydread " <fitzydread wrote: > > dear group, > Today i made a whole lot of seitan from bread flour(strong white flour). It came out very well after washing out the starch, I had a lovely piece of gluten, cut in half and boiled one half in broth and then deep fried the other pieces which came out really well....the fried variety was very meat like which did initially make me think of chicken skin which did put me off slightly. I will certainly be making it in different ways!!!! however i cannot find one uk supplier of vital wheat gluten, which is easier than washing out the starch from the flour. Any uk people know where i could get gluten flour, or a cheap method of shipping over from US? > Warmest wishes Fitzy x > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Try Flourbin.co.uk. It's called gluten powder. (I googled " Where can I find vital wheat gluten in the United Kingdom? " ) Dena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Thanks very much!Yes I had found this company but the price for postage is really annoyingly high and they have a minimum amount you have to spend which is also a lot. Gluten powder mm havent really googled that....thanks once again.
