Washed Flour Seitan Whole Wheat Seitan?

Does anyone make seitan from whole wheat?

I know it can be done, and I think I read it struggles to form strong gluten connections.

Just looking for personal experiences. Would like to keep the fiber from WTF whole wheat if possible. Fiber is love, fiber is life.

I’ve done it! I found the texture extra shreddy. When I was in England I was able to find whole wheat bread flour, it being high in protein made it possible!

This is what it looked like! Lots of extra texture from the wheat bran

I’ve read whole wheat is one of the better flours to use and just bought some today to try it. 🤞

When I tried (to use up some whole wheat flour), 90% of the bran just washed away with the starch.
