Making it requires kneading wheat flour with water to rinse out the starch from the wheat, what remains is a sticky mass of pure gluten protein. If your plan is to make it from scratch, good on you; but otherwise, gluten flour (or vital wheat gluten) is your best bet. The basic ingredients for seitan are gluten flour and water, but it's best to flavour it with other ingredients - it is rather bland on its own. The amount of liquid that you use to make your dough will also affect the chewiness of your seitan, less waters means more chewy with a harder texture, and more will make it tender. & In this recipe, I added chickpea flour for added nutrition. Wheat gluten proteins are deficient in lysine (an essential amino acid for good health), adding a lysine-rich food like chickpea flour to the mix makes up for this deficiency. % recipes/seitan.3.jpg - & When preparing seitan, it's important to flavour the inside, and outside of the dough. Adding a variation of ingredients to the dough mix, like ginger, garlic, onion powder, tomato sauce, soy sauce etc. will make it extra flavourful, the same goes for the broth; adding vegetable broth and soy sauce as a base, and roughly chopped onions, garlic and ginger will season the outside of the dough. + & When preparing seitan, it's important to flavour both the inside and outside of the dough.

Baking the seitan, means flattening or stretching the dough to fit the baking dish, adding seasonings overtop, and baking it for an hour.
