vegan and very easy

First, the “dough” for the schnitzel is mixed. For my recipe, I use seitan mix, but you can also use regular flour and “wash out” the starch. Pour the seitan mix into a large bowl. Then add the spices (don’t skimp on spices if you want to add flavor later), such as salt, pepper, paprika, chili, or if you want to experiment a bit, anything else in powder form. Mix thoroughly and add the water. Then you can knead the “dough” well and place it in a baking dish. To make the schnitzel nice and thin, you should press it firmly now, as the “dough” will also rise in the oven. Place the baking dish in the oven at 180°C for one hour. After half an hour, remove it and turn the “dough” over (this is very difficult; it can help to lightly grease the dish beforehand). After one hour, you can remove the “schnitzel mixture” from the dish, place it on a board, and cut it into pieces. To make it a “proper” schnitzel, you still need the breading. Put flour in a bowl and add soy milk (or other plant-based milk) until it thickens (or even thickens). Then, prepare a bowl with flour (or spices) and a bowl with breadcrumbs. Simply coat the schnitzel in the milk-flour mixture, then in the (spiced) flour, and finally in the breadcrumbs. Flatten it once more before adding it to the pan. Fry the breaded schnitzel in a pan with oil and butter until nicely browned, then serve.
