Damper is a traditional Australian soda bread, historically made by swagmen, drovers, and other travelers who traversed the Outback. With just a few simple ingredients, it’s a quick and easy recipe that creates a delicious, dense bread perfect for pairing with stews or enjoying with a spread of butter and jam.
- Ensure your butter is cold before cutting it into the flour; this helps to create a better texture.
- Don't overwork the dough; mix until just combined to avoid a tough damper.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a bit of sugar or a dash of milk to the mixture.
- If you want a crustier exterior, bake the damper at a higher temperature for the first 10 minutes, then lower it for the remaining baking time.
- Experiment with adding herbs, cheese, or dried fruits to give your damper an extra twist.
With its simple ingredients and straightforward process, damper is an accessible recipe for all levels of baker. Whether you stick to the traditional method or get creative with your additions, making damper is a great way to enjoy a piece of Australian culinary history. Serve warm with your favorite toppings for a cozy and satisfying experience.
