Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Mo that is a really kind offer. I have hunted pretty extensively in the shops and have not found wheat gluten for sale. Mostly people are looking to take gluten out of things, not adding it, LOL. Bread flour here comes in strong or extra strong varieties which are milled from wheat with a high gluten content so there is no need to add extra gluten to it. However I know that vital wheat gluten is available here online so I could order some if I wanted to. I've never tried seitan. I thought it might taste too much like meat for me. Perhaps I'll try this recipe minus the vital gluten and see what it like without it. I guess the function of it in this recipe is to hold the cutlets together and give them a chewy texture. Recently I've been experimenting with using potato flour to hold patties and burgers together, so perhaps I'll try that.
