Ingredients
Ingredients
- 8 cups of wheat flour
- 1 liter of water
- Spices or fresh herbs of your choice
Recipe
1. Kneading
In a large bowl, mix the water and wheat flour until you get a firm, elastic dough. Use your hands to knead thoroughly.
2. Rinsing
Place the dough in a strainer, then submerge it in a bowl of cold water. Knead it in the water until it becomes cloudy. Change the water and repeat the process until it runs clear—this means the starch has been removed.
3. Cooking
Slice the dough into thin pieces and simmer them in a broth with herbs, spices, or vegetables for about 30 minutes. Your homemade seitan is now ready to be used in a variety of recipes.
