You dont have to be vegan to enjoy vegan foods. We have people around us who are mostly non vegetarians and avoid veggies most of the time. But during special occasions when they cant have animal products due to religious obligations, they prefer to eat indian version of seitan known as soya chaap. Its basically refined flour gluten enriched with soy powder rolled on popsicle to have appearence of mock chicken leg. I'm lacto vegetarian, so i have seitan baked in tandoor with marinade, butter and fresh cream. Im glad that it doesnt come from chicken or smells like chicken.

[@rfldss89]

FWIW, you don't need to add flour to your counter to prevent bread dough (or in this case, seitan dough) to stick. You should use a bench scraper to unstick the dough, and as the gluten develops the dough will become less and less sticky on its own. Adding fresh flour to the counter will just add fresh undeveloped gluten along with it, i.e. sticky gluten.

[@sskpsp]

One time I made seitan from scratch (well, with gluten flour, not from wheat flour) I stretched and flattened the heck out of it with a rolling pin, and it gave me a very dense and layered texture. But that took me forever, maybe I should try this method with vinegar and salt!

[@sandracarli1110]

I made the mistake of trying it from scratch with whole grain spelt flour. I kneaded and washed it for hours and the result was miserable (a lot of fiber and almost no gluten).

[@Marianna2877]

@@Marianna2877 I've been using a German version lately. It is my favourite at the moment. It's without legumes. Some bubbles develop while cooking it very slowly for 1 hour but it's really tender with bite. My family and guests love it.

Now I'm using powder stock again, with vegan options. And the dish I made is much more acceptable. And this homemade seitan you have, made cooking so much easier and fun.

Very interesting!! I usually make my own seitan in a similar fashion, but next time I'll try adding salt or apple cider vinegar. I love hearing about these little tricks to improve!

[@LiquidWholeFood]

I actually watched your first Seton video to help me familiarize myself with the whole concept, since I’m new to “wheat meat.“ This looks definitely more doable for me, and I’m so grateful for the recommendations of spices and the apple cider vinegar/salt trick. Because we have a need for an ultra low sodium diet because of a medical condition, it will be fun to tweak this, but I so appreciate you giving me a great foundation to get up the guts to finally try this! As usual, an amazing video. BTW, because you put the poll on that you had actually published this yesterday, I was able to access this. Your video didn’t come up in my feed at all yesterday, so I don’t know why I missed it because I am subscribed with full notifications for you. Just letting you know the poll trick helped me see the video.

[@elmarklaus]

I agree! I think it's funny that you need low sodium, because I inherited a very high sodium need from my grandma. Every time I try to reduce my intake I get really bad headaches like her. I've tried to figure out if I had any other food intolerances that might cause this, but it really seems to be the salt.

Sending both of you lots of love! Stay safe and have a great weekend!

[@PenguinRainbow]

If you let the flour hydrate for about a half hour after you incorporate the dough (before you kneed) the gluten naturally comes together faster when you do kneed. Basically let the dough rest = less kneeding time. Hydrating before you kneed is pivotal as a baker to cut down on arm time.

He mentioned this vegan pepperoni video he made using it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqS0ZquqZrSlrc0 He also made a bacon one, too. You just let the starch water rest in a jar for an hour or so. The starch settles to the bottom and you just pour the excess clear water off the top (add only half as much water as any recipes using dry starch would call for, though). It can also be used as a thickener to replace corn starch, too.

[@Marcoosianism]

You need expensive dedicated machinery to accomplish the extrusion process, unfortunately. It's not something suited to the home kitchen.

[@Dave_en]

You can use defatted soy flour along with gluten to have excellent amino acid profile in seitan. For those who dont know, seitan is not a complete protein. While it has all 9 essential amino acids, 7 of them are in good quantity and 2 of them are in very low proportion. To balance this disoarity, soy or any lentil powder or paste is added to overcome this deficit of these 2 amino acids. Lentils has some surplus of these two amino acids and lack on others. Initially it would be difficult to mix both the things but become easy when you know how stuffs work. Just mix, knead and rest, repeat.

While learning, you need to use small samples to avoid wastage. Start with just a pound of flour and after succeeding, go for bigger batches. I never go beyond 4-5 pounds of flour because of difficulty in handling. We dont have large vessels in our house, neither do we need it on regular basis.

I really wanna try this but I’m nervous about it, I don’t wanna mess it up and I’m worried my kids wont like it.

[@Bazziness]

Just try it the first time. I tried and failed before. It's try and error. If there's something wrong with it, then try again. It's kinda hard tbh but if you wanna make it easier, use vital wheat gluten

[@FountainPenSounds]

It's definitely worth a shot. I've used seitan to make meaty bits kinda like this video for stirfries and stews. As well as fried chicken sandwiches and nuggets. It is definitely one of the more versatile options if you want to simulate meat in a dish.

[@blooblaah9896]

the way he pulls it after washing is really important. as it gives it a more convincing texture when you're going for a chicken like seitan. cooking at a low temperature is important for bubbles as he mentioned, but also to keep a good chew. if it cooks too hot, it can come out too chewy. if you focus on nailing the texture, you can slather it in any sauce you want and be just fine.

[@valpyataev5206]

I would recommend using vital wheat gluten (pre-washed flour) rather than the washed flour method when starting out. There are fewer steps in the process of making it with vital wheat gluten and it takes significantly less time than the washed flour method. For instance, you only have to knead it for a couple of minutes with VWG and don't have to leave it in water for an hour.

[@YadhGood]

Mark. It looks great. Question. Did you do the control with the same times and procedures without the initial salt and vinegar? I’m curious how different it is just with those variables. It looks like you still gave it a good knead and rest before cooking.

[@macrumpton]

I wonder if instead of rolling in the dough into a ball if having it as a long snake or even a flat sheet would allow the water to get in to wash away the starch easier. The problem with the ball is that only the surface of the ball gets the easy access for the water and most of it is not on the surface.

[@pedroluizleonegoncalves8078]

Thank you! I've tried making seitan from gluten flour but I've found out the hard way that it's not the same thing as vital wheat gluten. It has about half the protein content of VWG, so they were more like a "hard flavoured bread" than a proper seitan. A few months ago I finally found vital wheat gluten to buy in a baker's shop, but I think I will guve this method a try since everyone says that seitan from washed flour is a lot better. Thanks for your work, I really like your channel!

[@Dave_en]

@@pedroluizleonegoncalves8078 Use refined white flour for seitan. I have got best results from it. At our place the flour has 11% protein and gives around 385g of wet gluten from 1kg of dry flour.

1. Cold water 2. You can wash until it's clear, but you can wash less if you want (I usually only wash about 3 times thoroughly in a large bowl, each time until the water starts to feel "thick," if that makes sense). It just depends on your personal preference. 3. For this recipe with small pieces, he said to brown one side, flip them, then let simmer in a little bit of broth with the lid on for about 15 minutes.

Flish favor is the best!

I notice you’ve done a lot more washed flour instead of just using vital wheat gluten. So you find WF makes a better chicken that VWG? Or is it just preference

[@JTMusicbox]

That looks awesome and easy! Did you like the Chinese style one you did recently with Jackfruit better?

[@jerrihandy256]

Interesting video. I've never been a seitan fan though. How can I convince a friend to make this🤔

[@zacharycohen89]

Maybe this has been explained before but what’s the benefit of the washed flour method over just buying vital wheat gluten? Seems like a lot of extra work compared to the way I’ve been making seitan for years

[@Jamtron88]

They reckon it tastes better but I'm pretty happy with the flavouring of my vwg seitan already

[@HowToCuisine]

This is so insane! 😱😱😍😍😍

I'll definitely try this. I've made Seitan once. It took so long and still came out as a fail 😓

[@oplkfdhgk]

Looks good:) how long does it take? Hour?
