Ingredients

- 2 cups (240 g) vital wheat gluten flour, plus more for dusting
- ½ cup (30 g) nutritional yeast flakes
- 1 ¼ cups (310 ml) boiling water
- ¼ cup (60 ml) low-sodium soy sauce

Preparation

- In a large bowl, combine the gluten flour with the nutritional yeast. Add the boiling water and soy sauce. Mix well with a spatula until the dough forms into a sticky ball.
- On a surface dusted with gluten flour, knead the dough for 3 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add more gluten flour as needed. Shape into a loaf. Cover in plastic wrap, leaving a ½-inch (1.5 cm) space at each end to allow the loaf some space to expand. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap, as you would a candy wrapper, and tie in a knot to seal.
- Place the seitan loaf in a pot of simmering water. Cover and poach for 40 minutes, turning the loaf over halfway through. Remove from the water and let cool. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until completely chilled.
