Recipe

• 1 mix the doughs up and form into balls, each one separately.
• 2 break the red dough into 4 pieces and the dough into 3-4 pieces. flatten each piece and layer alternating colors on top of each other. this is your time to be creative. once you have a big block of dough lay it on an oiled cutting board. place another cutting board/saran wrap on top. press your dough for at least 30 minutes.
• 3 after your dough has been pressed bake at 300f for 45 minutes. your seitan will be a bit undercooked but this is what you want. it makes it easier to slice and it will pan-fry better.
• 4 slice into bacon strips and pan fry to the desired crispness you like. enjoy!
