Bob's Red Mill Gluten Flour, Vital Wheat, 20 Ounce, $10.49
Bob’s Red Mill Vital Wheat Gluten Flour is the natural protein found in wheat, concentrated to provide 70–80% protein content. Just a small amount added to yeast bread recipes helps improve elasticity, enhance texture and give your loaves extra height. This makes it especially helpful when baking with whole grain flours or coarse cereals, ensuring bread that’s lighter and softer. Professional bakers often rely on vital wheat gluten for consistent results, and now it’s available for home kitchens too. Beyond bread, it’s a key ingredient for seitan, a popular plant-based protein with a chewy, meat-like texture. Simply mix with seasonings and water to create dough that can be steamed, baked, or simmered for a hearty vegan main dish. Vital wheat gluten also works as a binder for recipes like meatballs, meatloaf, veggie burgers and more. With so many uses, it’s a versatile pantry staple for bakers and cooks alike.
