SO HOW'D IT GO?
Hi...I made this seitan a couple of days ago and it is wonderful. My question is this...when I put it together it was more like a batter than a dough...is this the way it is supposed to be? I didn't think it would knead properly like this so I added some chickpea flour, 1T at a time (took about 1/2 cup) until it reached dough consistency and then continued from there...it turned out delicious an looks quite similar to your picture so what do you think? Thanks so much!

BLOWING MY MIND!!! i didn't put the cumin (didn't have ground) but used all the other ingredients as listed. i baked this in a covered dish instead of wrapping it in foil and i think that made it EVEN BETTER. has a crispy little crust that is just to die for. i put it in a greased loaf pan with a lid. my young son, who is rather choosy and won't eat any 'fake meat' (or real meat!) tasted this and LOVED IT! asked for more!! i recommend it highly but do as i did and skip the foil. bake in a covered dish so it gets the crust!
I made an account just to comment on this recipe. It came out AWESOME! I ommited the ketchup and even my picky 2 year old loved it. Thanks for posting!
