S's Seitan
- 1 12 cups vital wheat gluten flour
- 14 cup nutritional yeast flakes
- 1 cup very cold water or 1 cup vegetable broth
- 12 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 garlic cloves

- tomato paste, garlic, lemon zest.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and combine with a firm spatula, knead dough for about 3 minutes until a spongy, elastic dough is formed.
- Let dough rest for a couple of minutes and prepare your broth.
- Now roll your dough into a log shape about 8 inches long and cut into 3 equal sized pieces.
- Place the pieces in the broth.
- It is important that the water/broth be very cold when you add the dough, it helps with the texture and ensures that it doesn't fall apart.
- Partially cover the pot (leave a little space for steam to escape) and bring to a boil.
- When the water has come to a boil set the heat to low and gently simmer for an hour, turning the peices every now and again.
- Now you've got gluten.
- Let it cool in the simmering broth for at least a half an hour.
- It is best if it cools completely.
