Delight your taste buds with this easy and delicious Oregano & Cheese Damper recipe. Perfect as a savory side to your favorite meals or a stand-alone snack, this recipe is a simple and quick way to bake fresh bread packed with aromatic oregano and rich, cheesy goodness.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and dried oregano. Stir well to distribute the oregano evenly throughout the flour.
- Cut the butter into small cubes. Add the butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and the grated parmesan cheese. Mix well to ensure the cheeses are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Add enough cold water to the dry mixture in small increments (start with about 1/4 cup of water and add more if needed) to bring the mixture together into a soft dough. Stir with a spatula or your hands until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently shape the dough into a round loaf, about 1 inch thick. Place the loaf onto your prepared baking tray.
- Using a sharp knife, score a cross on the top of the dough. This allows the heat to penetrate and ensures even cooking.
- Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the damper is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Allow the damper to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. This damper is delicious on its own or with a spread of butter.
Tips:
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a teaspoon of garlic powder to the flour mixture.
- If you prefer a softer texture, you can replace the water with milk when making the dough.
- Feel free to experiment with other herbs like rosemary or thyme for a different twist on this recipe.
- Serve the damper with a side of herb butter or a drizzle of olive oil for an enhanced taste experience.
Enjoy this delightful Oregano & Cheese Damper as a perfect addition to any meal. Its simple preparation and robust flavors make it a favorite for both novice and experienced bakers. Whether served warm with a meal or savored on its own, this damper is sure to impress!
