The key here, clearly, is that you’re using a double boiler essentially. So instead of boiling the goo in water, you are baking a loaf of seitan in a pan that’s sitting in water. We didn’t reinvent the wheel here, we’re just doing some better PR for the wheel.

I tried the wheat flour in water method.
the result looked like …wheat rinsed blob
and tasted like nothing
but had the consistancy of rubber.
mmmmm
can’t wait to try this one instead

All satanic imagery and Christian Death recommendations withstanding – the instructions you just outlined, Rosa, scare the living bejesus out of us. A wheat-rinsed blob boil? Dear god, try our version, please.

I love seitan
I’ve never been brave enough to make my own, since all the recipes i’ve seen ask you to rinse the wheat bits out of the dough-glob under running water, leaving only the gluten. Then you’re supposed to boil the gluten-blob in veggie stock.
I’ll give your recipe a try. Thanks!

I’ve been a firm believer since I first had this burger. And combining it with the beast! Come on! Too awesome.
