In another bowl add wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic, onion powders, salt & pepper, mix the powders together then add liquid to make a soft dough, knead the dough for 5 mins.

Per-heat an oven to 180'c.

Place a non-stick mat or baking tray, form dough into a number of oblong shapes 1.2 cm thick, then press a wooden spoon handle widthways across to form dents in the surface to resemble ribs, bake for 25 mins.

Make the barbecue sauce. Heat a saucepan on a med heat, add oil & garlic, fry for a minute or until it just starts to colour, add water & the rest of the ingredients, bring to a simmer turn down the heat to low & cook for 20 min stirring often, set aside for later.
