Hey everyone, it’s me again, Dan, welcome to our recipe page. Today, we’re going to make a distinctive dish, seitan. One of my favorites. This time, I am going to make it a little bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
Seitan can be prepared by hand using either whole wheat flour (which is a very labor-intensive process) or vital wheat gluten (which is a much simpler process).
