  • 1 teaspoon paprika plus extra for sprinkling
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
  • 1 cup 235 ml beef-flavored vegetable broth (or plain vegetable broth)
  • ¼ cup 30 g nutritional yeast

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon 15 g tomato paste
  • 2 cups 288 g vital wheat gluten flour
  • ½ cup 120 ml extra-virgin olive oil

Instructies

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4).
  • Have ready a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone baking mat, such as Silpat.
  • In a large-size mixing bowl, combine the wheat gluten, wheat flour, nutritional yeast, parsley, paprika, garlic powder, and pepper.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the broth, oil, soy sauce, tomato paste, mustard, and liquid smoke.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and knead together until well incorporated and a moist dough forms.
  • Let rest for 20 minutes.
  • Thaw the puff pastry according to the package instructions.
  • Form the mixture into a loaf (similar to a meat loaf shape) and place in the center of the baking sheet.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 35 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, to allow the loaf to reabsorb its juices.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C, or gas mark 5).
  • Cover the loaf entirely with one of the pastry sheets, tucking the edges underneath the loaf.
  • Slice another sheet into 10 even strips for weaving.
  • Weave the strips, on the diagonal, across the top of the loaf (like the top of an apple pie!
  • ).
  • Tuck loose ends under the loaf.
  • Sprinkle a little paprika and parsley on top for color.
  • Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is fluffy and golden brown.
