Let’s take a look at some of the most common flours used for making seitan, a plant based meat made from gluten. We’ll use two chick’n recipes to test two vital wheat glutens and four flours (for wash the flour method) to see what is the best and cheapest way to make seitan.
I posted a wrap up video for Patreon members where I deep dive into items I wasn’t able to get to in this video as well as look closer at the numbers. Join the community to support the channel and watch.

I might have missed it in the video but what was the better cost to gluten ratio? Using vital wheat gluten or wtf method?
You are a great educator. I am new to vegan cooking, I love it and cannot believe I didn’t do this years ago. Are you on Instagram?
Have you done a research about seitan? If it's healthy or not??
be interested in the yeild differences between gluten flour and bread flour.
Hilarious. I was just on Amazon scrolling through all the flours trying to figure out what was the most cost-effective for seitan. I shoulda just come here first 😄
The best value flour according to me is all purpose flour from discount stores. The flour is bleached, giving white and soft gluten. I like to add soy chunks powder in small amounts for better water retention, texture and flavour. Yesterday I was successful in making seitan chicken drumstick which looks exactly like real one. No one can identify unless they take a bite and find out a popsicle instead of bone.😂😂😂
Being new to "homemade Seitan" but wanting to give it a try – is it vital to do the "wash the flour" method? In another one of your videos, where you made Gyros, you didn't wash the flour in the demo? So, I'm wondering do I follow that video method, or do I have to do the wash method? Arrrggghh. Sorry.
Nice work! My Bob's Red Mill whole wheat package (my local Dillons (Kroger) often has it on sale) says 7 grams protein per 38 oz (18%) compared to my King Arthur bread flour package at 4 gm per 30 oz. (13%). Have you tried the washed flour method with a quality brand of high protein whole wheat?
ohhh… so I totally thought WTF stood for something other than wash the flour.
Thank you for this great video, vital wheat gluten is a staple in my wife and I's pantry and this is excellent information! Can't purchase pre-made vegan foods and not go bankrupt these days!
