Bryanna-

I'm trying to make the seitan from the new newsletter. I mixed the ingredients in my ABM and after cycling through it is more the consistency of muffin batter than bread dough. Is this right? If not, is it salvageable?

Thanks!
Stephanie

No, it should be more like a soft bread dough. Are you sure you got pure gluten powder and not "gluten flour', which probably has white flour in it?

Ah, that is the problem. I just read the label and it's gluten flour. Oops!

Should I just throw it out or is there something I can do?

Thanks for being my detective!

Sorry... you'll have to start again! It just won't have enough structure-- too much starch.
