"BEEFY" SEITAN LOG

This is based on the "Seitan Log" and its variations posted by VegSocialWorker. I realized that portabella and shiitake mushrooms are sometimes described as "beefy", so I decided to make a seitan with mushroom stock instead of veggie stock.

Time 1h34m

Yield 1 pound, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups vital wheat gluten
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup mushroom stock
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetarian worcestershire sauce

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix together the liquid ingredients in a smaller bowl, then stir them into the dry ingredients until completely blended. Knead the dough in the bowl for a couple minutes, then place on a sheet of foil and shape into a log about 6 to 8 inches long. Wrap the foil tightly around the log and twist the ends.
Bake for 80 minutes (this will be firm with a slightly crispy outside -- if you like your seitan a little "spongy", maybe bake for 60 to 70 minutes).
Slice or chop as desired, and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator or freezer.
