Easy Baked Seitan Recipes

EASY HOMEMADE SEITAN RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the soy sauce with 1 cup of water in a small mixing bowl and stir together.
• Combine the gluten flour, baking powder, and optional nutritional yeast and/or seasoning blend in a medium mixing bowl.
• Gradually add the liquid to form a stiff dough, stirring with a spoon at first, and then working together with your hands. Drizzle in a little more water if need be; you want all the dry ingredients to be moistened, while making sure the dough remains stiff.
• Turn out onto a floured board (you can use additional gluten flour for this) and knead for 2 to 3 minutes. It's not going to be completely smooth, but really work it!
• Return the dough to one of the bowls you used, then cover with a clean tea towel. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a soup pot about 2/3 full with water. Add the bouillon cubes and ginger. Start heating.
• Once the dough has rested, divide it into two more or less equal pieces and pull into long, narrow loaves the shape of miniature French breads. This dough isn't easy to work with; it tends to spring back to whatever shape it's in, but do the best you can - it will come out fine.
• With a sharp, serrated knife, cut each section of dough crosswise into slices no thicker than 1/2 inch.
• When the water comes to a slow boil, gently drop in each slice of dough. Within a couple of minutes, the dough is going to puff up and look like it's threatening to escape the cooking pot! It will settle back; keep pushing the pieces down into the water. I like to reach in with kitchen sheers and cut pieces that have expanded crazily, but this is optional.
• Simmer gently and steadily for 30 minutes. Scoop out pieces of seitan to use in recipes (usually about a third to a half of the amount made with this recipe is what you'll need for an average recipe). Set on a plate or cutting board until cool enough to handle, then cut into smaller slices or chunks.

EASY BAKED SEITAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir.
• Once all the dry ingredients are mixed in, knead the dough with your hands for several minutes until thoroughly mixed.
• Then, roll the dough into a log and cut it into 1/2 inch slices.
• Place each of the slices on a lightly greased baking sheet and spread the dough with your fingers to thin them. Bake on a low oven rack for 10 minutes.
• Flip the seitan strips and bake on the other side for five minutes.
• Once finished, dip them in ketchup or BBQ sauce, stuff them in a pita pocket as a sandwich, toss them into tacos or fajitas, or add them to your favorite salad or pasta. You can do almost anything with the as you would chicken strips.

BEST HOMEMADE SEITAN

Steps:

• Combine the vital wheat gluten flour and nutritional yeast flakes in a bowl; set aside. In a separate bowl, mix the vegetable stock, 1/2 cup of soy sauce, tomato paste, garlic, lemon zest, and seasoning blend.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir with a firm spatula. Knead the dough until a spongy, elastic dough forms, about 3 minutes. Roll the dough into a log shape and cut it into 3 equal pieces.
• Combine 1/2 cup of soy sauce and cold water in a large pot. The simmering broth should be very cold when you add the dough to help it keep a firm texture and ensure that it doesn't break apart. Place the dough pieces in the cold broth, partially cover the pot, and bring it to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pot, and simmer for 1 hour, turning the dough pieces occasionally.
• Remove the pot from the heat and let the gluten cool in the broth for at least 30 minutes. To store the gluten, refrigerate, covered in the broth, in a sealed container for up to 5 days.
• If your recipe calls for seitan, cut the gluten into pieces. Add vegetable oil to a heavy skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the gluten pieces and cook for 20 minutes, turning the pieces occasionally.

FAST & EASY HOMEMADE SEITAN

Steps:

• Gluten dough: Combine all dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Combine all liquids and add to the dry mixture; mix with a fork until the dough reaches a kneadable consistency. Knead a couple of dozen times, then let the dough rest 3-5 minutes. Wet hands (to prevent gluten from sticking) and knead another dozen times, then let the dough rest another 10 minutes. While waiting, prepare broth (below). Wet hands and a knife; cut gluten into 6-8 pieces and pull into thin strips. Simmer in broth for 45-60 minutes. Broth: Combine all ingredients in a large pot with a lid. Bring broth to a boil, add gluten dough pieces, reduce to a simmer and cover. Check occasionally and add more water if needed.
