Baked Seitan Log
"We really enjoy this semi-spicy seitan. Cook time does not include cooling time (30-60 on the counter). I like to slice this and lightly fry it on the stove top. It's also good simmered in your favorite bbq sauce."

I made this recipe from another site last night... All was going well but it came out a bit too dry and tough so I don't know whether I need to knead it less (about 5 mins) and/or to add more fluid and/or bake less? Anyone had this problem? -
It was great! It's a winner! I didn't have all the ingredients, so I substituted quite a few items. Even so, it was tasty. Can't wait to eat the whole log and make another.

tried this today, left out the oil, added a little more liquid in the form of veggie broth and a little soy sauce, came out fantastic although I ate so much it's expanding in my stomach , ugh! with all the spices it good just plain or with any sauce

I've tried a few different homemade seitan recipes and this one is by far the best. Perfect texture and very flavorful. I substituted the water for mushroom broth, liquid smoke for soy sauce, and Old Bay for allspice because I had these items on hand. Delicious! I'm certain this will now be a staple recipe.
