How to Make Baked Seitan Log

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. Shape the dough into a log approximately 8 inches long and 4 inches wide. Place it in a lightly oiled baking dish.
  4. Bake for 95 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack for 30-60 minutes before slicing.
  6. For an extra crispy exterior, slice the seitan log and pan-fry in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat until browned on both sides.
  7. Alternatively, simmer sliced seitan in your favorite BBQ sauce until heated through and coated.
  8. Serve and enjoy! Garnish with fresh herbs or sesame seeds for an extra touch of elegance.
