Equipment
- Baking sheet, Foil, Mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 2 cups 288 g vital wheat gluten flour
- ¼ cup 30 g nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon 6 g garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon 6 g onion powder
- 1 tablespoon 4 g dried parsley or 3 tablespoons (12 g) fresh
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup 235 ml vegetable broth
- ½ cup 71 g sauerkraut
- ¼ cup 60 ml canola or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4).
- Mix together the wheat gluten, yeast, garlic and onion powders, parsley, and black pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, sauerkraut, and oil.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until uniform.
- Your mixture will be wet, not at all like a bread dough.
- If your mixture is too dry, add a bit more veggie broth.
- Divide the dough into 8 to 12 pieces, depending on how large you like your wieners.
- Tear off 8 to 12 pieces of aluminum foil, about 6 × 12 inches (15 × 30 cm).
- Form each piece of dough into a sausage shape and place near the long edge of the foil.
- Roll up the foil and twist the ends tight.
- Place seam side down on a baking sheet and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until firm.
- Remove from the oven and let cool before unwrapping.
- Enjoy as you would any hot dog!
