# Ingredients:

01 - 1 teaspoon fennel seeds

02 - 1 cup vital wheat gluten

03 - 1 teaspoon sea salt

04 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano

05 - 2 teaspoons garlic powder

06 - 1 teaspoon onion powder

07 - ½ teaspoon chili flakes

08 - 1 teaspoon dried parsley

09 - 2 teaspoons smoked paprika

10 - 1 teaspoon black pepper

11 - 2 tablespoons liquid smoke

12 - 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or another neutral oil)

13 - 2 tablespoons tomato paste

14 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce

15 - ½ cup low-sodium vegetable broth

01 - Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it's ready to go

02 - In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients like gluten, spices, and herbs. Mix it up until everything's blended well

03 - Stir together the broth, soy sauce, tomato paste, liquid smoke, and oil in a second bowl until smooth

04 - Pour the liquids into your dry mix. Stir slowly until a dough begins to come together

05 - Place your dough on a clean surface and knead it lightly for 1-2 minutes until everything feels just right

06 - Split the dough in half and roll each piece into a log roughly 6 inches long

07 - Wrap each log first in parchment and then in foil. Twist the ends tight to hold everything together

08 - Put the wrapped logs on a baking sheet and bake them for 45-55 minutes. Flip them once halfway for even cooking

09 - Once they're done, let them cool completely before you slice and enjoy

01 - For an amazing flavor boost, stick it in the fridge overnight before eating. You'll thank me later!

02 - Turn up the heat with extra chili flakes if you like your food spicy

03 - This keeps well in the fridge for a week. Or stash it in the freezer for up to 3 months!
