Basic Wheat Gluten

Use hard wheat. Grind into fine flour

Combine:
7 cups whole wheat flour
3 cups cool water

Knead for 10-15 min. Knead dough hard and well. If it isn't kneaded sufficiently the gluten will not develop. Rinse gluten in cool water. Continue to rinse until starch and bran are rinsed out. Hold the gluten together replacing any pieces that come off. knead the dough (gluten) with fingers as you rinse it. Try not to mix the water into gluten. Save rinse water for gravies and etc.
