Reddit mentions of Bob's Red Mill Vital Wheat Gluten Flour, 22-ounce (Pack of 4)

Hey, sorry guys. I posted this pretty late; in the midst of my food coma I fell asleep! Please enjoy the recipe.

For the seitan: I followed this recipe pretty much all the way. For convenience:

Ingredients list:

1. 2 cups wheat gluten
   
2. 1 cup nutritional yeast flakes (Note: I have purchased this 2 pack from Amazon before for less than $10. Not sure why the price increase).
   
3. 1 tsp cumin
   
4. 1 tbsp garlic powder
   
5. 1 tbsp onion powder
   
6. 1 tsp smoked paprika
   
7. 1.5 tsp sage (I used thyme because I didn't have sage. Still good.)
   
8. 1.5 cups vegetable broth
   
9. 1/2 cups water
   
10. 1/4 cup ketchup
    
11. 2 tbsps soy sauce
    
12. 2 tbsps olive oil (there are oil substitutes out there if avoiding oil. I think applesauce or mashed bananas will do it.)
    
    Instructions:
    
    
13. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
    
14. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl with a fork. In a separate second bowl, combine wet ingredients and mix well. (I recommend using a large mixing bowl for the dry ingredients).
    
15. Slowly add the wet mix to the dry mix, stirring to combine into a dough. Turn dough out onto the counter and knead for several minutes.
    
16. Shape dough into a tube and wrap in aluminum foil. Bake for 90 minutes directly on the oven rack, turning once halfway through baking. Let cool and enjoy! (While reading this, I just realized I never turned mine over. Oops. Still turned out awesome).
    
    Note: This yields ~184 grams of protein. I quartered the loaf and served myself portions of 46g protein. Also, I have tried to make seitan in the past, maybe 4 times, by boiling it and then frying it. It would always turn out way too tough and I never enjoyed it. This recipe might seem like too much liquid at first, but it is the perfect amount for tender, juicy seitan. I will be using this one for a long time.
    
    *Edited for clarity

Yep, 3 net carbs per 1/4 cup. It's a pretty common item at health food stores. Mine sells it in the bulk section.

This was the first time I used it, but my girlfriend and I were both really happy with it.

I'm glad I could help! That's a great little recipe you posted, I have never tried it with wheat flour, so I might have to give it a shot.

This is the stuff I usually use: Amazon Link

This is the stuff that is most common and at just about every walmartAmazon Link

Its getting to be summer, so one thing you can do is actually grill this stuff on aluminium foil. If you marinade it for a bit its just fantastic on burgers.

I use this for the buns by the way, and its awesome: http://www.food.com/recipe/carb-free-cloud-bread-411501

I just bought gluten powder from Amazon and it seems very cheap if you go the route of cooking it. I used this recipe because it was the most simple and also I wanted to use a slow cooker to be lazy, figuring if it would take time at least that is time I didn't have to be paying attention to it.

First batch came out pretty fantastic and that was with not really measuring anything well. When you compare the cost its super cheap to make yourself.

Or just buy it. https://www.amazon.com/Bobs-Red-Mill-Gluten-22-ounce/dp/B000EDK5LM?th=1

Amazon has a good deal on 4 x 22 oz packages from Bob's Red Mill: LINK.

You can also save a couple bucks and do the subscribe and save thing, and then cancel it once you receive the box.

Vital wheat gluten = high protein, low carb.

Aka [seitan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_gluten_(food)

You mean something like this? Bob's Red Mill Vital Wheat Gluten Flour

I use that stuff for baking and it also makes a good low carb pizza crust.

Lysine is cheap at Whalemart.

I got this Gluten online for a good price

Here's Mary's Test Kitchen's seitan playlist (the playlist is ordered by date so the videos towards the end are probably better)

Making seitan from flour isn't a great idea, it's kinda time consuming, IIRC about the same price since you throw away part of the flour in the process (keeping only the gluten), you're better off getting "vital wheat gluten" from amazon

What I do is that I always have a batch of seitan in the freezer and I take from that when I need some, and make some more (of a different kind) when I'm almost out of it

I use Bob's: Bob's Vital Wheat Gluten

You can order it online or make your own from flour (never done it--but it's possible). Are you in South Africa? The latter method might be your most straightforward option.

My wife and I have ordered it from Amazon. I think its more expensive than you would find in a supermarket, but if you can't find it near you, this may be an option.

Here is the mobile version of your link

Isn't high gluten white flour just bread flour?

Also, you can use all whole wheat flour if you use some vital wheat gluten.

The whole wheat flour doesn't have as much protein (gluten) as bread flour so that is why some recipes try to get you to do this half recipe.

Vital wheat gluten is basically just adding the gluten in the whole wheat flour. It makes it light and fluffy instead of dense and chewy.

I bought a pack of this stuff from amazon and it makes all my breads a lot lighter.

This is the best deal I know of. $18 for enough gluten to make 16+ loafs

I will echo what kane2742 said about buying things on Amazon, specifically with wheat gluten. I keep an eye on the prices because they have a tendency to fluxuate (I'm ambivalent to brands) and have been getting my wheat gluten on Amazon for much cheaper than the store. I was doing a subscribe and save for a while, until the price went up a few dollars and I de-subscribed, but I just resubscribed for this one.

Or you could buy it super in bulk for even cheaper. We just don't have the space.

Amazon link to what I buy. If you don't have amazon prime, you should be able to get Amazon Prime Student for 6 months for free.

Simple recipe: vegetable broth, wheat gluten. Mix and knead into dough and bake.
