Joniemarie's Festivous Loaf

Total Time: 1 hr 55 mins Preparation Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 30 mins

Ingredients

• 2 cups vital wheat gluten flour
• 2 cups garbanzo bean flour
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (can sub all or part whole wheat pastry flour )
• 2/3 cup vegetable stock powder (can use vegetarian chicken flavor)
• 2 -3 cups water
• pesto sauce (sundried tomato flavor, but any pesto will do)
• 2 (6 ounce) boxes storebought seasoned stuffing mix (prepared with vegetable broth)
• 4 cups additional vegetable broth

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2 mix together the flours with the vegetable broth powder and slowly add in the water. start with 2 cups and add more if needed. knead together until a nice smooth dough ball is formed. knead for 5 more minutes, and then cover and set aside to rest for 20 minutes.
• 3 while it's resting, prepare 2 boxes of storebought stuffing according to package instructions and set aside. (most boxed stuffings are vegan, infact they are really just a bag of seasoned croutons or bread crumbs so if you have a favorite stuffing recipe, this would be a good place to use it.) set aside.
• 4 after your dough has rested, roll it out on a well floured surface, trying to keep a rectangular shape -- mine ended up being almost as big as the cutting board.
• 5 spread a hearty layer of pesto all over the dough.
• 6 sprinkle on a good amount of prepared stuffing.
• 7 roll it up.
• 8 pour about 2 cups of vegetable broth into a 9 x 13 baking dish, then place the loaf in the dish.
• 9 add the remaining stuffing all around the loaf.
• 10 place in the oven at 350* for about 90 minutes, basting with the remaing broth every 15 minutes or so. you'll know it's done, when it is firm.
