Seitan is made from Vital Wheat Gluten (VWG). Wheat gluten is the wheat protein that is left when all the starch has been washed away. VWG is available in many natural food stores and can also be purchased online. Here is the link to our favorite products on Amazon:
Here is my favorite recipe for Seitan.
4 c vital wheat gluten
1 c potato flakes
4 heaping T of onion powder
3 heaping T of garlic powder
1 T black pepper
1 T of salt
1 T poultry seasoning
1/2 c nutritional yeast
Mix well
2 c hot water and dissolve 1 heaping T "Better than Bouillon" vegetable paste/
Pour this into dry mixture.
Add 2 more cups of water. I find it easier to mix with my hands at this point. Dough should be kind of like rubbery cookie dough.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts.
Tear 6 sheets of non-stick foil about 12-16 inches long.
Place a share of dough onto the shiny side of the foil. Roll up like a summer sausage and twist the ends closed. Fold twisted end over.
Place onto rack in Instant Pot, add 1 c water, secure lid and cook on high for 60 minutes natural release.
Experiment with more or less spices, hot spices, etc.
