A delicious and versatile vegan deli slice recipe, perfect for sandwiches or snacks.
Blend the white beans, water, salt, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric, ground fennel, dried sage, black pepper, and soy sauce until smooth.
Ensure the mixture is smooth for a consistent texture in the final product.
Transfer the blended mixture to a mixing bowl and gradually add the vital wheat gluten, kneading until a firm dough forms.
Knead the dough thoroughly to develop the gluten for a chewy texture.
Shape the dough into a log and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil.
Wrap the log securely to maintain its shape during steaming.
Steam the wrapped dough in a steamer for 1 hour.
Check the water level in the steamer periodically to prevent it from drying out.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) during the last 15 minutes of steaming.
Preheating ensures the oven is ready for the next step.
Bake the steamed dough in the oven for 45 minutes, then let it cool completely.
Cooling the dough allows it to firm up for easier slicing.
Slice the cooled dough into thin slices and serve as desired.
Use a sharp knife for clean, even slices.
