Wheat Gluten

I tried smoking a cajun flavored chunk of wheat gluten today. I am not happy with the results. The outer bit got a fair smoke flavor but it is too hard after the smoking. I am really trying to find a way to make the gluten less "bready" tasting without making it some other over powering flavor. I am going to try it in the pressure cooker again with a new broth recipe. I have steamed it in the oven using plain water the last few times I have made it. The texture is good and the flavor is good when used in recipes, but too bread like for a sandwich. Hopefully I can figure out how to get a better texture from the pressure cooker since I really like the flavor I get that way. Later.
