Ingredients
- 2 c vital wheat gluten
- 1/2 c Nutritional Yeast
- 1 1/2 c vegetable broth
- 2 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1/8 tsp maple extract
- 1.5 tsp liquid smoke
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp rosemary
- 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
- 1/2 tsp smoked salt *regular salt is fine too
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F / 232°C .
- In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients together.
- In a separate bowl, mix all wet ingredients together.
- Slowly add the wet to the dry, mixing with a fork until it gets stiff enough that you need to use your hands.
- Once all of the liquid is incorporated, knead the dough ball for about 3-5 minutes. It will be very elastic.
- Put the dough ball in a 4X8 loaf pan that’s been sprayed with cooking spray. Spread it out as best you can, but it’s ok if it doesn’t come perfectly to the edges–it will spread as it cooks.
- Spray a piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray and cover the loaf, spray side down and fold tightly around the edges of the pan.
- Bake for 50 minutes covered.
- Remove foil and cook for another 10 minutes to brown the top.
- Romve from overn. Let cool. Slices into 8 equal slices
