Wheat gluten are the natural, insoluble proteins that remain when the starch is washed out of wheat flour. By mixing this gluten with liquid, an elastic, cohesive structure is created that takes on a firm, meaty texture after cooking. This makes it the ideal base for seitan, a traditional and very protein-rich meat substitute. In addition, adding gluten to bread dough ensures a better rising process and a lighter structure for your homemade bread.
