It's Just - Vital Wheat Gluten Flour, 20 oz

And I would make it again, but her long-time boyfriend got good at it and he is the cook in their family so...I learned another "trick" with this product and use it regularly. I used to always make bread from scratch and love home made bread, but I got a bread maker and LOVE using it! The thing I found with making bread in a bread machine is that the bread doesn't rise up quite like my own hand kneaded breads...until I read a suggestion that adding a tablespoon of vital wheat gluten to each cup of flour used will assist the bread to rise and be lighter in the finished product when I pull the loaf from my bread machine. I was blown away the first time I used vital wheat gluten as suggested in my machine made bread - it WORKS!!! Not just a little bit, it makes really nice loaves of bread that have good texture and are quite tooth-some (meaning easy to bite into and chew). Now, even with this product in my machine bread, they aren't the puffed full of air loaves of bread on every grocery store shelf - just want people to be aware, this vital wheat gluten works well to "lighten up" machine bread and that works for me! As soon as I open the package I do store it in the fridge to prolong the freshness of the product (and its flavor in my bread). For the size of the package and the price, this is a good deal for seitan or bread!

I have tried another brand of vital wheat gluten and went back to this one. I just feel like it works better - like more starch or something.

I read that if you add wheat gluten to all-purpose flour and that is equivalent to bread flour. So I bought this to try it. It works. I'm very pleased. My breads which I bake a couple times a week, have a significant rise compared to straight all-purpose flour. So now I continue to purchase my 25 lb bags of flour at Costco ($8) and add the tablespoon of whey to each batch of bread I make. Stepped at my game at a significant cost savings from purchasing straight bread flour.

I can't believe that this product is so hard to find. It adds elasticity, structure, and chewiness to baked goods, helping dough rise and hold its shape. I'll be back when I need more.

This product offers a very easy way to increase protein in baked goods. Follow the ratio on the bag per cup of flour. Also, there are many recipes that call for vital wheat gluten in higher ratios for protein. Excellent value.

Helps stop the loaf from collapsing during baking.

This product, which I bought the other days, is a product that raises the protein percentage of any weak flour....that is, if you make bread and need a strong flour which is sometimes very difficult to find, I mean a flour with more than 13% protein, and you cannot find it, then take this product into consideration since by using a small amount of it you will obtain a high level of protein and you will be able to make a good loaf of bread. Try it so you can see how efficient it is and does not alter the flavor of the bread at all.

I only put a tablespoon in and the difference is night and day
