Seitan Pepperoni

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups vital wheat gluten
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2-3 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes use more for spicier pepperoni
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 4 tablespoons tomato sauce
  • 1 1/5 teaspoons liquid smoke
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.  Thoroughly mix dry ingredients and separately mix wet ingredients.  Add the wet to the dry and mix as well as you can.  Turn out and knead with your hands for a couple minutes to make sure all the ingredients are mixed.  Roll into a 7" log(or you can half the recipe like I did.  I made a 4-5" log and baked it 10-15 minutes less) and roll in foil.  You can use the foil to squish the log into the proper shape because it will be fairly difficult to shape.  Twist the ends of the foil to seal it.  Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, turning over once halfway through.  Remove from the oven and unwrap to allow it to cool.  If you're not serving all of it right away, store in the fridge in a sealed container or wrapped in plastic wrap.
