Joanna-

I made these last night and I really liked them!

I do have an idea for those who had dough that was too wet. I always let any seitan-ish thing I make sit a full 5 min after the water is mixed with the gluten. I have found it helps absorb the water and become more cohesive. Hope that helps.

pamela – yeah it should be fine. i haven’t tried it myself but i can’t think of any reason why not. it will probably firm up quite a bit in the fridge, however, so the end result might be a little chewier.

Hey Joanna!

Excited to try these. I am going to make BBQ and agave-mustard. I like your recipes because the flavor is still there and while not fat-free, lower in fat than a lot of recipes.

Anyway, I was wondering if you think the gluten mixture (wet mixed with dry but w/o the breading) would be fine in the fridge overnight before shaping?

Just had these tonight. So forking good! I don’t make a lot of things twice but my husband and I agreed that these definitely need to become a regular in our house. I look forward to trying out different spice combinations as well.

I was thinking about buying your cookbook because I’ve heard nothing but positive things regarding it and I actually tried this recipe just to make sure my tastes jived with yours. I’m sure all right. Going to purchase it right now!

Just kidding! While I most certainly did measure everything correctly, I didn’t use the correct ingredients! I’m a total idiot and used whole wheat flour instead of gluten. I really need to reorganize my labeling system. Ugh. I’ll be giving these a try again later this week and will report back on how tasty they’re going to be!

nebraska – the dough is pretty wet, but i’ve never had a trouble breaking off chunks. it needs to be really wet or else they’ll over-dry in the oven before they set. no ideas but sorry it didn’t work out for you!

I tried making these for dinner and the dough was so wet that I couldn’t even form them into nuggets. I swear I measured everything correctly. Any ideas?
