Product Description

Honeyville's Vital Wheat Gluten can be used to greatly improve bakery products. It is the gluten in wheat flour that is responsible for the unique features of bread, features which are not possible with other cereal flours. Vital Wheat Gluten is a concentrated protein that possesses a special visco-elastic property. As a functional protein, vital wheat gluten provides additional qualities to the dough when used in baked goods. Wheat flour contains some natural gluten but often not to the extent desired. Many baked goods benefit from the addition of vital wheat gluten. The effect on the bread is remarkable.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best way to buy gluten!, July 26, 2006

If you bake a lot of homemade yeast bread and rolls, this is the best way to buy gluten. Even bread flour doesn't have enough gluten to make yeast bread light and fluffy, and whole wheat flour is a different story altogether. I order gluten in these great big cans, and it beats the heck out of trying to find it in little boxes in the stores. Even my whole wheat bread is light and yummy.

I buy this to make huge batches of seitan. Freeze it down and cuts back on weekly cooking time drastically.

The only source for Vital Wheat Gluten available locally is a 1.5 Cup package on sale at Wal-Mart as a baking additive -- at a cost of nearly $2.00 (USD). This 3.5 pound package was a godsend as I have an entire folder of seitan recipes I've wanted to try -- and now I'm working my way deliciously through it!
