Vital Wheat Gluten is best described as a super-powered flour made mostly from gluten and very little starch. In the traditional sense of the word, vital wheat gluten is not flour but is made from hydrated wheat flour that helps activate the gluten and then processed to remove everything other than the gluten. The process from there is to dry out the product and grind it back into a powder.
Only Need Small Amounts
The benefit of using a food product that is made of gluten is that only small amounts of it are needed at any given time. In fact, some recipes call for as little as one tablespoon to every two or three cups of flour. The product helps improve the elasticity and rise of the dough as well as the crumb and chewiness of the bread loaves.
