HOMEMADE GLUTEN 
5 lb. bread flour (high gluten)
5 c. cold water (more or less)
Seasonings

Mix flour and water to form stiff dough. Let stand covered with water for at least 15 minutes (up to overnight in refrigerator). Knead under running water to wash starch out (wash until water becomes fairly clear). Put in coated ring mold and add seasonings such as:

2 tbsp. chicken-like seasoning
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. minced onion

Work seasonings into gluten by hand; vary them to taste. Cover with plastic wrap. Cook 10 minutes in microwave on full power, then flip and cook 10 more minutes. Let stand until cool. Slice, grind or chop in recipes in place of burger. Note: Freezing firms texture even more.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
