Ingredients

Instructions

  • Mix all your dry ingredients together
  • Add all the wet ingredients, reserving the additional to cups of broth
  • Mix well, and divide into three sections, kneading each section for at least twenty minutes* or Do not knead, mix the dough until combined and let rest overnight
  • Preheat your oven to 350 Add two cups of vegetable broth to a dutch oven
  • Place your loaf into the pan with broth, and rub oil over any of the exposed loaf
  • Lightly dust the oiled loaf with more poultry seasoning and a bit of nutmeg
  • Bake for 40 minutes, checking on it half way through, spoon some of vegetable broth over the exposed part to help keep it moist
  • Flip it, coat the exposed loaf in more oil, and add more seasonings
  • Bake for an additional 15 minutes
  • Repeat steps 6-10 for each loaf, reusing the vegetable broth, adding more as needed

Notes

  • The longer you knead your dough the chewier, more ribbon filled, and elastic it will be
  • If you let your dough rest overnight you do not need to knead it and it will get ribbon filled
  • Try to use black salt if possible, however truffle salt will also add a similar depth, MSG also works here.
  • To make it even more 'chicken like' add an additional 1/3 cup of coconut oil- this will make the loaf more juicy.
    Alternatively, you can make this recipe oil free. If you do this, every ten minutes splash your roasting seitan with more vegetable broth to help keep it from drying out.
  • Instead of breaking up the loaf into 3, try breaking it into 9 or 12 for seitan patties- perfect for sandwiches!
    Reduce your cooking time to 30 mins, then flip and cook for another 10 mins
  • Try breaking up your loaf into small nuggets. Reduce cooking time to 25 mins before flipping, then cook for another 5-7 mins
    Then bread them and fry them for chicken style seitan nuggets!
