Today I want to explain step by step how I can, so that I can also bring it to the homes of those who can not afford the supermarkets! Do not be discouraged for the length of the process, with a little practice it will be easy for you too. Arm yourself with patience and let's start!
The first step is to make the dough of the seitan, then put the flour into a very large bowl and gradually add the water while stirring
When the dough is no longer sticky, I can remove it from the bowl and keep kneading it with my hands for about 5/8 minutes
Get a smooth and homogenous panetto, put it back in the bowl and cover it with lukewarm water. After that I let it rest for two hours
As I look, in a large and deep water pot, the onion is clean and cut into four cloves, garlic spelled, soy sauce, salt, a few roasted herbs, and oil
Spend the two hours, put the pot with the broth on the fire and bring it out
Meanwhile, I dedicate myself to washing the seitan: I'm just kidding the panetto immersed in the water, repeating this operation and changing the water every now and then alternating the hot and cold. In the cold end
NOTE: If the water becomes white, do not worry! The dough will not melt - even if it will give you this impression and if you work it will split into several parts, it will come back together during the work.
When the water is almost transparent, drain the seitan with a colander and after a few minutes, I wrap it in a cotton cloth or foil, as if it was a candy and left it bake in broth for 30 minutes
After half an hour, remove the seitan from broth and foil and dip it again into the broth, continuing cooking for another 30 minutes
The last step is to let it rest in its baking water for one night so that it absorbs all the flavors of the broth well
The next day you can consume the seitan as you like, it suits any type of cooking! From the oven, to the frying, to the grilling .. add some vegetable outline and good appetite !!
