Directions
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl, really well. Mix liquid ingredients in a separate bowl then add to dry ingredients. Whisk well with a fork so as everything is incorporated and forms into a dough. Knead dough for a few mins.

Double wrap in lightly oiled tin foil. If you want to shape the dough into a sausage then do so, rolling the foil round tightly and then twisting the ends.
Bake in a pre heated oven at 200 degrees for 90 mins - turning over halfway through. Unwrap the seitan and leave to cool completely before using.

     Is there an alternative to Tamarind Sauce? I don't think that I have seen this here in Australia, we have Tamarind Paste is it the same? - 5/8/09

     Do you have to use it all at once, or can you refrigerate it and use a bit at a time?
    Also, what is seitan? I'm kinda new to this whole veg thing.... - 12/10/08

    You don't have to use it all at once - this will keep in the refrigerator for 1 week - but I bet it doesn't last that long!!
    Seitan is derived from the protein portion of wheat and is a GREAT meat substitute.
    Have a look here for more info

     I'm really interested because I've tried making seitan by boiling it and it did not turn out well... - 10/5/08

    I'm not a fan of boiled Seitan - though I have been experimenting a bit more so watch this space.

     THIS WAS FANTASTIC!! My husband loved it, he gobbled it down. I just used a packet vegetarian brown gravy mix and didn't use as much water as it called for. I roasted some vegetables and saved some of the gravy and had it for a Sunday dinner. Thanks Treehugger73! - 8/4/08

     Help... what can I sub for Bisto gravy? Can I make Bryanna Clark Grogan's nutritional yeast gravy and make it thick? I would think so, but you never know. I love baked seitan, so I'll make this! - 7/11/08

    Suziequeue - you can sub any gravy for this recipe - just make it thick. Sorry it took me so long to reply to you - I only just noticed your query.
    :)
