Seitan

I just made seitan and thought that I should jot down my very own recipe that I Frankensteined from various recipes after over five years of making seitan. I've tried boiling, steaming, and baking seitan and experimented with so many different combinations of flours and seasonings. This recipe I made up is the one I use the most because it's done in like 30 minutes instead of over an hour like the steaming method takes... I need my protein *now*

I'll have to add photos later but for now...
