# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
02 -
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds.
03 -
Add mushrooms and cook for 10-12 minutes until they release water, reduce in size, turn golden, and the pan is dry. Stir occasionally.
04 -
Pour soy sauce into the mushrooms, stir, and cook for 30-60 seconds, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Measure out 2 cups of the mixture.
05 -
In a food processor, combine 2 cups of mushroom mixture, remaining oil, water, beans, nutritional yeast, bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, granulated garlic, granulated onion, rosemary, thyme, sage, smoked paprika, and pepper. Process for 2-3 minutes until combined but not completely smooth.
06 -
In a large mixing bowl, add vital wheat gluten and mushroom mixture. Stir until combined, then use hands to knead for 5 minutes until dough is thick, elastic, and fibrous. Let rest for 5 minutes, then knead for another 30-60 seconds.
07 -
Shape the dough into a loaf about 8 inches long and 3.5 inches wide. Wrap in parchment paper and then foil, twisting the ends to secure it.
08 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 80 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the oven and let stand for 20 minutes before unwrapping.
09 -
Preheat broiler to low. Combine soy sauce, oil, and brown sugar in a bowl. Brush glaze on the loaf, broil for 2-3 minutes until caramelized, repeat once more, and watch carefully to avoid burning.
