This is recipe is requested when the vegetarian in-laws come to visit. I think the texture and flavors are great!

This is a good recipe ingredient wise, but the instructions make it more complicated than necessary. Try this instead - mix all ingredients in a large bowl, except the wheat gluten, till smooth. Then add gluten to the bowl and mix with a spoon till most of the gluten is moist. Then you can knead for a minute or two. Now your ready to break into chunks, shape and bake. I also found the bake time to be a bit long- try 10 minutes less.

Very good for the first time making it. My family was not impressed at first with the big blob. I added liquid smoke, onion powder, and garlic powder. Once it had baked they all thought it was very tasty, meat eaters and vegetarians alike. The only one who did not like it was my youngest son because he hates peanut butter and he saw me coat it in peanut butter (you can't taste the peanut butter). Next time I will make it and tell him I did not use peanut butter. I plan to still tweak the recipe maybe less water since I had a blob instead of a ball.

The flavor was quite delish!!! I served it on a bed of spinach and had it for lunch quite filling. I too did not have a ball but instead scooped it on to the baking sheet;maybe next time I'll experiment with the water ratio. Thanks for a great vegetarian option.

The texture was a little off for me; but, it definitely wasn't bad at all. My carnivore husband said it wasn't bad after he talked about how it looked while I was preparing it. I tweaked some by adding bell peppers with the onions, it really brought out the flavor well. Pair it with baked beans, corn on the cob, and potato salad and the meal is complete.

I'm vegetarian, my hubby is not, and I just made these. I liked them but did not love them. My hubby didn't really like them, but he did take a few bites without much complaint. Generally, these were easy to make. The dough is pretty impliable! The ribs do come out resembling bread sticks but honestly, it was a great alternative to processed fake meat. I'd make this again - hopefully I'll improve on the recipe over time.

The amount of water has been corrected to read "2 cups". You may need to use more water depending on the consistency of the gluten.

Help! Tried this tonight, first time using vital wheat gluten. Followed all directions, but reduced oil to 1/3 cup, and water to 2 cups. All seemed as described, I did knead it for a minute or two, as I wanted it slightly less chewy. It smelled and looked heavenly, but we could barely eat it, it was soooooooo cheewwwwwyyyyy, and the texture was more bread-like, not dense or meat-like. I know you warned about cutting or rolling, and I definitely did NOT do either..

I really did not like these at all. I am a vegetarian and I enjoy most vegetarian foods, so I really thought these would be good, but they just weren't. I had no trouble making them, but I guess I was not expecting the chewy weird texture (and I like tofu!). I don't know how people could call them breadsticks, really the texture was nothing like bread.

These were very tasty. I notice that the recipe has been edited since the last time I made these, the water being reduced to 2 cups. I added onion powder to the dry mix and used Bragg's Liquid Aminos instead of salt. Heated peanut butter in microwave so it would spread easier. Reduced the oil to 1/3 cup & realized I'd cut the onions too chunky - pureed them in the blender after they cooked. The dough mixed up much nicer and looked and tasted like something I'd serve to company. Baked on parchment paper.

Great flavor! I followed this recipe to a "T", but I did have some issues with my gluten dough. I think the water really should be cut down to 2 cups, instead of 3 cups. My dough was very wet and never once resembled the "ball" the recipe talks about. I had to drain a LOT of water, and I felt like all my paprika was being washed down the drain! When I went to make the "ribs" there was no pulling or twisting going on with the dough...it was more like slopping it into the pan and hoping that it would dry out in the oven! I would also cut the amount of BBQ sauce to 1 or 1 1/2 cups...2 cups was way too much. Other than too-wet dough, the flavor was really quite delicious, and the texture would be better if I used less liquid. I will definitely give this one another try! Good luck....stick with it, even if it seems like all hope is lost. They are very tasy.

These were really good. They did not look like the pic, though. The dough was very wet, I couldn't roll, it basically was one big blob, so I cut it when it was cooked. Next time I would use less liquid. Otherwise, they were very yummy!! My husband loved them!!

We love these things. I melt the peanut butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make it spread easier and we eat them with wing sauce(anchovy free) and they're delicious!

I was really hopeful about this recipe since one of the things I really miss as a vegetarian is barbecue. But the end product was mushy and tasted like bread. I don't think I'll be making this one again.

Okay. I enjoyed the meaty texture and drizzled it with Sweet Baby Ray's spicy bbq sauce. Take care not to overbake. I prefer a mostly similar "ribs" recipe I found on fatfreevegan.com.
