So delicious!

Ingrediants

1 cup vital wheat gluten
2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika ( i use one )
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons tahini or other nut butter
1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke ( can be bought on amazon or ebay )
1 tablespoon soy sauce
about 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce (see some suggestions below)

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350/180 and lightly spray an baking dish with oil. 
2. Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix the water with the nut butter, Liquid Smoke, and soy sauce and add it to the dry ingredients. Stir to mix well and then knead lightly in the bowl for a couple of minutes.
3. Put the dough into the baking dish and flatten it so that it evenly fills the pan. Take a sharp knife and cut it into 8 strips; then turn the pan and cut those strips in half to form 16 pieces, you can also use kitchen scissors.
4. Put in the oven and bake for 25 minutes ( some may puff up during cooking! ).
5. Take them out of the oven and marinade them in the bbq glaze or sauce, making sure they are thoroughly coated. I leave mine for at least half an hour. You can also leave them in the fridge overnight.
6. Heat either a griddle pan or a large frying pan and cook the seitan on a medium high heat turning frequently until little blackened edges appear. When ready do one last coat of the marinade and leave in tin foil to remain hot.
