BAKED SEITAN LOG
We really enjoy this semi-spicy seitan. Cook time does not include cooling time (30-60 on the counter). I like to slice this and lightly fry it on the stove top. It's also good simmered in your favorite bbq sauce.

SEITAN LOG 3- CHICK'N VERSION
From the Post Punk Kitchen blog. This is a much milder tasting seitan than Seitan Log or Seitan Log II- it's good if you want to use seitan in a recipe or with a sauce rather than having the seitan be the main flavor point. As with the other logs posted, this seitan is much firmer than the boiled type and more dry. It's good for slicing or crumbling or cut into small peices for a sauce.

"BEEFY" SEITAN LOG
This is based on the "Seitan Log" and its variations posted by VegSocialWorker. I realized that portabella and shiitake mushrooms are sometimes described as "beefy", so I decided to make a seitan with mushroom stock instead of veggie stock.
