Thank you. This was PERFECT! I’ve made this recipe 10 times so far. I have used many different types of flour: rice, garbanzo, quinoa, almond, soy, pea protein powder, hemp seed powder, whatever. This is the BEST seitan I’ve ever had. It’s easy, it slices so well, it tastes incredible and it’s always juicy. The texture is exactly gyro meat. By changing up the spices, it’s perfect roast beef sandwiches, turkey, or even bacon. Everyone I’ve fed it to begs for your recipe. Even my anti-vegan, loud mouthed, brother-in-law loved it. He’s one of those fools who links his masculinity to meat eating. Well, he ate half a tray at the family picnic. Then pretended to be super offended when he found out it wasn’t animals. It is literally the BEST gyro meat on the planet! Thank you so much.
This was a great recipe! Was fine as is, but I pan-seared it so it got a crispy crust like typical gyro meat has and it was a game changer. SO good! Will make again for sure!
