Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups vital wheat gluten flour
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons fennel seed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients. 
  • In a smaller bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients together until well combined.
  • Pour the wet into the dry ingredients and mix with a large spoon until it comes together. It will be like a dough that is pretty rough at this point.
  • Turn the dough onto a work surface and knead until smooth. Break into 3 sections and shape each section into logs about 2 inches in diameter. 
  • Wrap tightly in aluminum foil, twisting the ends to secure.
  • Bake for 60 minutes, placing the foil-wrapped logs directly on the oven racks. 
  • Remove from oven, unwrap and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice the pepperoni very thin, or thicker if desired. Store extra pepperoni in an air tight container or plastic wrap.
