How to Make Seitan Log

  1. In a large bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, and spices. Mix well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the water, soy sauce (or tamari), and vegetable broth.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Shape the dough into a log approximately 8 inches long and 4 inches in diameter. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the seitan is firm and golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve and enjoy your delicious, spicy Seitan Log!
