Easy Vegan Pepperoni - Ready in 20 Minutes

Let's face it. There are some things that you just HAVE to have. Like pepperoni on pizza. Not to mention PIZZA (that's coming in a couple days). This pepperoni is NOT a source of protein, just so you're aware. It makes a great topping for pizza, sandwiches, etc.

[@Jeff-ye6so]

the little pepperoni scraps would probably be good for crumbling and putting in a home made hot pocket or something

[@PlantBasedBistro]

Yup! Ours ended up in a breakfast burrito.

[@OfFoolsProductions]

You’re a wizard of spices sir

[@PlantBasedBistro]

Thanks, took some experimenting! Helps that I used to make all these things in a different life! (I wasn’t always plant based).

[@stephensano9156]

I was following your method closely and wondered when the mixture would become sausage shaped as you did in your sausage video. I was pleasantly surprised when you broke out the cookie cutter. That was the ah ha moment for me and now I will be making these beauties! I wondered if you like Shakespeare as I listen to classical music like Mozart's Non Piu Andrai and found a composer named Roger Quilter who introduced Mistress Mine, a take on Shakespeare's sonnet. Perhaps you might like it.

[@PlantBasedBistro]

I will check it out.

[@veronical3135]

Interesting!

[@kpopopedia7402]

Omg this is so good. Thanks for this recipe. Just one question, does it's taste like real pepperoni? Or maybe tastes somewhere near that.

[@PlantBasedBistro]

It's pepperoni like? But no, it's not got meat, fat or other things that make pepperoni.

[@tcfonts]

Simpler is good.

[@Stelios.Posantzis]

You're a vegetarian saint!

[@PlantBasedBistro]

Lol

[@sammimitsu]

Excellent. You have a new subscriber. I just watched a video about cancer-causing foods by Dr Mike Hansen, and pepperoni was one of them. I was dismayed, because I love pepperoni, but this is going to be my home-made version from now on.

[@PlantBasedBistro]

Awesome!

[@jarodlojeck5150]

Instead of floating it, what if you put a ring of aluminum foil under the pepperoni pan to lift and level it?

[@PlantBasedBistro]

I suppose you could. Might not get as good a contact with the water though. It wasn’t a big deal to swirl it around crepe style :)

[@lilivonshtup3808]

How would you store this and for how long. Can it be frozen?

[@PlantBasedBistro]

You can fridge it or freeze it. Should last a good long time.

[@sherryclinton9854]

Wheat starch ? Is that the same as VWG ?

[@PlantBasedBistro]

Nope! It’s actually the opposite. This is the starch part of the wheat where vwg is the protein. When you make a washed flour seitan the wheat starch is what you wash away.

[@sandracarli1110]

I tended to listen to the music. It was difficult to stay focused. Your recipe is interesting, though. I will give it a try!

[@PlantBasedBistro]

Ok, thank you
