Seitan

4 cups instant gluten flour (aka vital wheat gluten)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 cup Minute tapioca (or grind tapioca pearls to powder)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
3 Tbs veg'n 'chicken' or 'beef' bouillon powder
1 Tbs garlic powder
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 & 1/4 cups cold water

Mix all dry ingredients together.
Add all at once to the liquid ingredients, and mix quickly.
Knead until smooth.
Shape into two rolls. Put each half in a plastic bag (or other
freezable wrapping).
Use immediately, or freeze -- or use one and freeze the other.
To use frozen gluten, defrost until you can cut it into pieces.
Cook gluten in Cooking Broth (recipe follows).
