How Do You Make Seitan From Scratch?
If you’re a vegan or vegetarian, it can be challenging to find quality protein sources for your everyday meals. Seitan is one valuable option, a healthy protein substitute made from wheat gluten.

You can buy seitan from a store, but homemade seitan can help you save on costs and help you enjoy the process of making your meal from scratch!
