  • 1 recipe Raw gluten

Instructions

1

Step 1

Place the raw gluten on a well-oiled cookie sheet.

2

Step 2

Using your hands and/or a rolling pin, flatten the gluten out to a slab that is about 1/2 inch thick.

3

Step 3

15 minutes

Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.

4

Step 4

15-20 minutes

After 15 minutes or more of baking, the gluten should begin to puff up and form air pockets. Poke these bubbles with a fork to let the air escape and allow for more even cooking. Bake the gluten for 15-20 minutes more.

5

Step 5

10 minutes

Remove the gluten from the oven and from the cookie sheet. Fold it in half and cover it with a large inverted bowl. Let the gluten stand, covered, for about 10 minutes to soften the crust.

Step 6

Tear or cut the baked gluten into pieces and place it in the food processor. Briefly grind it to obtain a ground-beef-like texture. If you prefer, you may run the gluten through a meat grinder instead of a food processor.
