Vegan Pepperoni
  1. In a food processor pulse the tofu, tomato sauce, olive oil, and liquid smoke. Pulse for 30 to 45 seconds until a crumbly texture is forming and the ingredients are being mixed together.

  2. Then add in the vital wheat gluten and seasonings. Continue to pulse until a crumbly mixture forms.

  3. Pour in ¼ cup (60ml) of water and pulse one final time to turn it into more a sticky mixture.

  4. Use clean hands to knead together for 1 to 3 minutes. Just until it comes together and forms into a ball. Divide into 2 pieces. Roll out into a 5 to 7 inch log shape.

  5. Use a piece of parchment paper to roll up the vegan seitan pepperoni tightly and then wrap it tightly in foil. Twist the ends of the foil to make it like a party popper or piece of candy. If you need a visual please check the youtube video.

  6. Steam in a steamer basket for 30 minutes. Then let them cool for 20 minutes before unwrapping.

  7. After you unwrap you can then thinly slice or wait to slice until ready to use.
