Naturtonix Premium Vital Wheat Gluten, 100% Pure Gluten, For Bread Making, Baking & Seitan, High Protein, Non-GMO, Vegan & Keto Friendly, Certified Kosher, 4 Pound

Couldn't believe it when this stuff first popped up on Amazon at this price a month ago. Vital wheat gluten can get kinda expensive. This stuff costs a quarter of what you'd pay for the swanky "health food store" variety and does the job just fine. I started buying gluten instead of bread flour and mixing my own protein ratios in my breads to achieve different levels of chew and crustiness; I wanted more control than I could get just using "bread flour". Even better, now I don't have to keep two different bags (or containers... the kitchen kinda looks like a bakery now) of flour around. My bagels have gotten chewier and hold their shape better, my baguettes are crustier, and now it's costing me less than ever before. Seems like this stuff has triggered a price war in the gluten market on Amazon - I see a lot more folks selling at this price point recently, but plenty of stuff is still going for $.83 an ounce or more. Save your money, and make your bread better!

I live in an area that buying bread flour with a high protein content is costly. I make aLOT of sourdough bread and that takes a good amount of high protein flour. I substitute this Vital Wheat Gluten at 8% weight - so 92 grams of flour + 8 grams of gluten for every 100 grams of flour in recipe. For my flour it boosts the protein to 15%, which give a substantial boost to the spring in sourdough. Naturtonix has the best price that I've found and it stores beautifully in the freezer. You want better spring in your breads? Get some gluten!

Best wheat gluten I've found yet. Great for all breads and making seitan (imitation meat). You do not need much in your doughs, a few tablespoons tops and you have a lovely, delicious, chewy bread or crust. I recommend this wheat gluten.

Well, this is my first time trying the Naturtonix VWG. I'm used to using "BRM". To me, Naturtonix's flavor seems to be a bit milder than "BRM". I definitely don't mind that. However, the finished products' textures seem off a bit. In my experience, the textures are harder/tougher. Perhaps, I need to experiment a whooooole lot more because the textures are are hard. That said, I "ain't" mad that I ordered it. It's a pretty decent amount for a fairly reasonable price which in my case, allows me a lot of experiments to get the textures that I like in faux meats or meat fillers. My other complaint as always is the packaging. My opinion is that I feel a bag this size need not be a bag but rather a recloseable jar-like container. Overall, I'd still recommend this product. So, you "knead" to go on & spend your "bread" to try it.

Received my bag a few days ago and finished a loaf in a bread machine. Ha. This stuff really works. My bread came right up over the baking tin. This loaf was superior to all the loaves I have made up to this point 2/12/2021. Anxious to try it on whole wheat and rye. These loaves bake low and very dense. Just as a note, I use only one tablespoon per loaf and that is a level tablespoon. I am a King Arthur fan but one pound of their Vital Wheat Gluten is $16.00 plus including shipping. I can easily recommend this product. Tried it with rye flour for bread and it did not work so well. I even used 2 TBS per cup. Not the product's fault has to be something I did. It is April and I continue to use the VWG in my bread along with a teaspoon of Malted Barley. Everything I bake comes out magnificent. I have had a few rye failures but I believe is due to my problem. I do recommend the use of these products.
