Equipment
- baking sheet
- foil
- Mixing bowls
Ingrediënten
- 288 g vital wheat gluten flour
- 30 g nutritional yeast
- 6 g garlic powder
- 6 g onion powder
- 4 g dried parsley or 12 g fresh
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 235 ml vegetable 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 15 × 30 cm (6 × 12 inches).

- 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!
Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Serving Tip:
For a true Oktoberfest experience, serve these delicious wieners with a generous dollop of mustard, a side of crisp pickles, and, of course, a pile of warm sauerkraut!
Wine Advice:
While a light German beer like a pilsner or a wheat beer is the classic pairing for this dish, a wine can also join the party! A crisp, dry Riesling with a hint of sweetness would be an excellent choice. Its bright acidity and fruity notes will cut through the richness of the sausage and perfectly complement the tangy sauerkraut. It’s a pairing that’s sure to get you singing!
