PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a small loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

  Add the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, and ground flaxseed to the bowl, stirring until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

• 5

  Pour in the vegetable broth and knead the mixture with your hands for about 2 minutes until it becomes firm and slightly elastic.

• 6

  Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to smooth out the top.

• 7

  Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the loaf is set and the exterior has developed a deep golden-brown crust.

  Remove from the oven and let the loaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing into thick pieces.
