In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 1 ½ cups of vital wheat gluten, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 2 tsp smoked paprika.
-
In a blender or food processor, blend the 1 cup tofu, 1 small cooked beet, 1 tbsp red miso, 1 tbsp Danwood Smoked Oil®, ½ cup tamari, 2 tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce, 1/3 cup water, 2 tbsp ketchup,

1 tbsp yellow mustard, 1 tbsp Danwood Liquid Smoke®, and 3 tbsp maple syrup for 1 minute.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until the mixture becomes solid. Slowly add more water or wheat gluten if the mixture doesn’t become solid.
-
Knead the dough for 6 minutes (this is important for texture, don’t skimp on the time). It will become stretchy. Form it into a log and wrap it in foil or parchment paper.

Steam it in a pot with a steamer basket for 45 minutes.

FOR THE GLAZE
-
In a small saucepan, stir the 1 tbsp vegan butter, 2 tbsp yellow mustard, ¼ cup maple syrup, ¼ tsp ground cinnamon, 1/8 tsp ground cloves over medium heat until boiling. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often.
-
Remove the ham from the foil or parchment and place in a rimmed baking pan (See Note), score the top of the ham (optional) and brush with the glaze.
-
Bake for 20 minutes. Brush with another layer of glaze and serve.
NOTES :
To prevent the bottom of the roast from getting too tough, bake it on a rack over the roasting pan.
