Do your make your own Wheat Gluten?!


Question: Do your make your own Wheat Gluten!?
Answers:
Making your own wheat gluten is simple, just mix up some all-purpose flour with water as if you were making bread, and knead the heck out of it to work up the gluten as much as possible!. Now take your dough and run it under a very gentle stream of cool water, working it constantly!. The starch will begin to wash away (with some of your gluten with it, sadly) and eventually you will have a nice, rubbery ball of wheat gluten!

or you could always fall back on the old-timey favorite of throwing a handful of wheat grains into your mouth!. Chew them for a long long time without swallowing and eventually you will have a piece of 'gum', wheat gluten!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would really like to but I haven't yet because vital wheat gluten is so damn expensive!.

I tried making seitan using regular whole wheat flour and the process was a disaster and I ended up dumping everything out!. But I will make some soon enough with the expensive stuff!.

There's this recipe for a vegan tikka masala that I'm dying to try using homemade seitan!. pic:http://bp3!.blogger!.com/_e6y7EG4nAVY/RgXv!.!.!.
Doesn't that look awesome!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've made seitan a few ways!. I tried a slow roasted seitan roulade for Christmas; it was pretty good, but the stuffing just sort of disappeared, so that part of it wasn't worth the effort!. I make sausages using a steamed seitan recipe quite often!.

I've never tried it the original way, washing the starch out of regular flour, only with vital wheat gluten flour!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
