Critical Success Points

  • Pressing the tofu to remove excess water
  • Blending until the mixture is completely smooth
  • Kneading in the vital wheat gluten to develop structure
  • Baking at the correct temperature for the full 45 minutes

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven and baking sheet with oven mitts.
  • Vital wheat gluten can become very elastic; avoid over‑kneading to prevent strain.
