Instruction for making Breakfast Wrap with Seitan “Sausage” Crumbles

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Add all the dry mix ingredients into a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk to combine evenly.
3. Add all the wet mix ingredients into another mixing bowl and whisk to combine evenly.
4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mix. Stir until well combined and to create a “dough.”
5. Place the dough onto the counter. Knead and pull the dough ten times. (Before you fold the dough to knead it, tug at it to stretch it slightly.)
6. Seal the two edges of the dough together and form it into a thick log about 6 inches long.
7. Tightly wrap the log in tin foil. As you are covering the dough, try to hold it in place to avoid it from stretching out longer. Turn the closures of the foil to get the log tightly. Wrap it in foil and twist the ends tight for a second time to ensure it is secure.
8. Place the wrapped sausage log on a baking sheet and set it on the middle oven rack. Bake it for 90 minutes, flipping it over at the 45-minute mark. *The outside sealed edges of the sausage’s foil may bust open a tad from the steam trying to escape, and that’s okay; it’s normal.
9. Allow the sausage to cool down to room temperature before opening and cutting into it.
10. Then, slice off the patties in whatever thickness you desire. Usually, I slice mine at about 3/4 of an inch thick.
11. To cook the sausage patties, add about one tablespoon of oil of your choice into a saute pan over medium heat. Once hot, add in your sausage patties and cook both sides for about 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly golden brown and slightly crispy. While they are cooking, season them lightly with salt and pepper.
