Seitan Bacon
Ingredients
- Red Dough
- 1 cup vital wheat gluten ⓘ
- 1/4 cup soy flour (can substitute chickpea or other flour) ⓘ
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast ⓘ
- 4 teaspoons paprika ⓘ
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2/3 cup warm water ⓘ
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce ⓘ
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup ⓘ
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste (I sometimes use ketchup)
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke ⓘ
- White Dough ⓘ
- 1/2 cup vital wheat gluten ⓘ
- 2 tablespoons soy flour (or other flour) ⓘ
- 1 tablespoon nuttitional yeast ⓘ
Instructions
- Mix the doughs up and form into balls, each one separately.
- Break the red dough into 4 pieces and the white dough into 3-4 pieces. Flatten each piece and layer alternating colors on top of each other. This is your time to be creative. Once you have a big block of dough lay it on an oiled cutting board. Place another cutting board/saran wrap on top. Press your dough for at least 30 minutes.
- After your dough has been pressed bake at 300F for 45 minutes. Your seitan will be a bit undercooked but this is what you want. It makes it easier to slice and it will pan-fry better.
- Slice into bacon strips and pan fry to the desired crispness you like. Enjoy!
