Yeast is changing EVERYTHING I know about VEGAN MEAT

Yeast is changing EVERYTHING I know about VEGAN MEAT - especially GYROS

We're making vegan gyros with a yeast-powered plant-based meat called Kao Fu. Let’s see which ways we can further adapt this protein by trying a bunch of new techniques.

Bro, my face is stuffed with Gyros, I've been eating them for all three meals daily. Your recipe merits ten star credit and should be shared with Greek restaurants to accommodate Vegans everywhere. I will be sharing this recipe with some eateries I know well. Thank you for this awesome savory I've been missing for a long time. Cheers!! From Vancouver Canada

So you did not add beans to this like the last batch. I wasnt sure why you chose beans, is the high protein content? When making seitan with the rolled into tubes and steamed method, I will add white potato to try and increase the mass while decreasing my price per pound. Was that why you used beans?

@davidyastremsky285 Жыл бұрын

Any tips for fixing the recipe if the gluten strands didn’t form? I followed the recipe for the dough except for measuring the temperature of the water (it was lukewarm though) and accidentally adding a bit more water (~25g). Even after kneading for 5-10 minutes, it was still soft and ended up not raising during steaming (or it may have collapsed). The end product was good but incredibly soft.

@BoldFlavorVegan 11 ай бұрын

Sorry it didn't work out. This might be a silly question, but you used vital wheat gluten right? 25g of water shouldn't make a huge difference. If so, it is difficult for me to diagnose when I'm not able to see it so I don't have any other recommendations. Regarding the rise, I'd also check your yeast to make sure it is alive still.

you garble some of your words, so it's impossible to determine your ingredients. Why not post the ingredients and the recipe instead of people having to watch the video and try and transcribe your video. For example, what did you use to add color to the seitan? What kind of flour did you use? Also, Kite Hill makes a tzatziki sauce.
