I've tried and tried and just can't make it. I love seitan, but have to buy it. I want to come to your house for dinner!

Dehydrating is a great idea, btw. It must be similar to the way freezing and thawing tofu (firm or extra firm) affects the texture and even the flavor a bit.

An aside: I think at least some people who believe they're sensitive or allergic to gluten are really wheat sensitive/allergic. I don't do well with wheat and have to limit my intake, but seitan, which is pure gluten, has no effect on me except yum. (I have cardiopulmonary, neuro, muscular and some digestive problems with wheat.)
