You go, don't be afraid to say Satan.

[Andwithstrangeaeons]

what does satan have to do with atheism?

atheists don't believe in satan or vishnu or allah or yhwh in equal measure.

that said, this shit is delicious regardless

Hail Seitan!

You can use the whitest starch water (from washing the dough) in baking or cooking! =)

i eat anywhere from 1-2kg of seitan per week. A 175g portion has nearly 50g of protein.

The vital wheat gluten flour is just regular flour with the starch removed. That's why she did the washing of the dough in the video to remove the starch.

So if you use the wheat gluten flour you can skip the whole washing process. Just mix the flour with spices and water and then cook it in broth.

Is there a reason you use flour rather than vital wheat gluten flour? I have never used the plain flour.

Seriously, just buy some vital wheat gluten. I don't care if you don't live near a Whole Foods. Order it from Amazon. Infinitely easier.

The gluten looks like brains when it's freshly made. BRRAAIIINNSSS.

I've been making gluten steaks for nearly 40 years. However, I'm lazy; I do my kneading in a Bosch, plus I don't do all that salty tamari. Great video!

I'm excited about making my own Seitan for a change. I've tasted it at vegan restaurants but it's not always cheap. I found 4, 5 pound bags of wheat flour for $24. This recipe would yield enough seitan meat for 2 people for 8 days each and if I buy that much flour that's about $1.53 per day per person for 8 days. MUCH MUCH cheaper than I thought. So you could potentially have a meat substitute dinner for a whole week for 2 people for less than $30. Doing it yourself saves big!
