You can’t buy vital wheat gluten anywhere in the UK (except online, in massive bags with seriously expensive shipping) so to find that I can make my own is fab! Thanks so much for such an informative guide – the photos are a real bonus!

Firstly, Thank YOU! I made some lovely “lamb” gyros yesterday after making the seitan. I cooked it a little differently, but it was very good, and the perfect texture. First try at it too!

Secondly, I am glad to see another Omnivore. I am mostly vegan, but there are times when I do have eggs and even meat on a rare occasion. Reading your blog, it seems you melded the best of both worlds, and kept an open, creative (and tasty) mind. I like that. You have an interesting blog, and I favorited it for even further reading (I’ve enjoyed it thus far).

Hey Royce. Making seitan from scratch is very rewarding and not hard, but...it is a bit time consuming.

Prep time can be anywhere from 1-2 hours depending on how long you let it soak for in between rinses.

Then I suggest slow cooking it for a couple hours in stock to infuse flavor.

I know this post is older, but I was curious about the prep time.

This is excellent! I can only find one brand of over-priced seitan in my city, and vital wheat gluten is .. well… too expensive also. I can't wait to experiment with this, it is so great you posted such clear instructions! I love seitan! <3

I stumbled on this on my first week as a vegetarian. This is the BEST online guide out there. Good work!

This recipe is not only super simple, but it turns out absolutely perfectly! I used Gold Medal whole wheat flour and even in my first time making it, the texture was to die for. Thank you for posting ^_^
