...but I don't think I would rinse wheat flour to get the gluten out (I know there are many threads on here about people who have though! Hopfrog had a good method) I'm just not into seitan enough for all that work!

I was one of those rinse-wheat-flour-to-get-the-gluten-out people, but only because I didn't know there was another way to make it. I had seen vital wheat gluten in boxes over the years but somehow I didn't relate it to what I made at Thanksgiving. (We would have The Farm Cookbook recipe for "Gluten Ribs," but we only had it once a year because the process of making the gluten was tedious and tiring.) HOWEVER, now that I have discovered that vital wheat gluten does make the same product, nevermore shall I go through the miserable routine of making it from scratch. The end result is not as tough, either. ::)
