Bob’s Red Mill Vital Wheat Gluten Flour is the natural protein found in wheat, concentrated to provide 70–80% protein content. Just a small amount added to yeast bread recipes helps improve elasticity, enhance texture and give your loaves extra height. This makes it especially helpful when baking with whole grain flours or coarse cereals, ensuring bread that’s lighter and softer. Professional bakers often rely on vital wheat gluten for consistent results, and now it’s available for home kitchens too. Beyond bread, it’s a key ingredient for seitan, a popular plant-based protein with a chewy, meat-like texture. Simply mix with seasonings and water to create dough that can be steamed, baked, or simmered for a hearty vegan main dish. Vital wheat gluten also works as a binder for recipes like meatballs, meatloaf, veggie burgers and more. With so many uses, it’s a versatile pantry staple for bakers and cooks alike.

Vital Wheat Gluten.
Seitan: This versatile vegan meat replacement can be seared, grilled or fried!. 1-3/4 cups bob's red mill vital wheat gluten. 1/3 cup bob's red mill nutritional yeast. 2 tsp garlic granules. 1 tsp onion powder. 2 tsp crushed fennel. 1/2 tsp turmeric. 3 tbsp soy sauce. 1 tsp molasses. 1 tsp tahini. 1-1/2 tbsp oil. 1-1/2 cups mushroom or vegetable broth. In a medium bowl, whisk wheat gluten, nutritional yeast and dry spices. In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients and stir until smooth. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture, using a fork to bring dough together (it will be lumpy and springy). Pour dough onto an 18-inch-long sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper and wrap like a burrito, forming a log. Bring 4-6 cups water to a rolling boil in a medium pot, and place a tight-fitting steamer basket inside. Add seitan, still wrapped in foil or parchment, cover with the pot lid and steam for 80 minutes. Do not remove lid. Let seitan cool for 30 minutes before cutting into slices or chunks, enjoy as-is, or sear on the stovetop. Makes 1 large loaf.
Store in a cool, dry place.
