💭 Is shop-bought vegan deli meat as good as homemade?

Now don't get me wrong, I love that there is so much choice for vegans in supermarkets now and vegan deli slices are super convenient.

However, homemade vegan lunch meat is always going to be better.

It's easy to make, made fresh and you can tweak the flavours.

Healthier too, as there are no articifical colourings, preservatives or flavourings.

💭 Is vegan pepperoni easy to make at home?

Vegan pepperoni, is a type of seitan and it is super easy to make at home.

Unlike most seitan deli meat recipes, my recipe is easy.

There's no washing or steaming it.

Just mix the wet ingredients, mix the dry ingredients, bring it together with a quick knead (just fold it on itself a few times) and shape it before cooking it in an air fryer or the oven.

Have a look at my easy pepperoni recipe, scribble down the recipe or print it out so you can make these delicious vegan deli sandwiches and add it to pizza.
