Pumpkin, parmesan & sun-dried tomato damper

This Pumpkin, Parmesan & Sun-Dried Tomato Damper is a delightful twist on the traditional Australian damper bread. Combining the sweet, earthy flavors of pumpkin with the umami of sun-dried tomatoes and the richness of parmesan cheese, this recipe creates a savory bread that is perfect as a side dish or enjoyed on its own. Follow these steps to bake this delicious damper in your kitchen.

Ingredients:

4 cups pumpkin
480g
4 cups self-raising flour
600g
1/3 cup butter
70g
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
72g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g
2 tbsp chives
30g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1 egg
50g

Instructions:

2. Prepare Pumpkin: Cook and mash the pumpkin. Ensure it is well-drained and slightly cooled.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour with the cubed butter. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
4. Add Cheese and Herbs: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, grated parmesan cheese, and finely chopped chives.
5. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, lightly whisk together the milk and the egg.
6. Form the Dough: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the mashed pumpkin and the milk-egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid over-mixing to keep the damper light and fluffy.
7. Shape the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a minute or so, just until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it onto the prepared baking tray.
8. Bake: Using a sharp knife, score a cross on the top of the loaf (this helps the damper cook evenly). Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
9. Cool and Serve: Allow the damper to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature, sliced and buttered if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure the pumpkin is well-cooked and mashed smoothly to integrate evenly with the dough.

- For a more intense flavor, use semi-dried tomatoes instead of sun-dried tomatoes.

- If you prefer a softer crust, cover the damper with foil for the first half of the baking time.

- Allow the damper to cool slightly before slicing to avoid crumbling.

- Feel free to experiment with other herbs like rosemary or thyme for added flavor.

There you have it - a delicious, savory Pumpkin, Parmesan & Sun-Dried Tomato Damper that's perfect for any occasion. This bread not only tastes amazing but also fills your kitchen with a rich, comforting aroma. Serve it warm with a pat of butter, and you'll have a new favorite recipe to share with your friends and family. Happy baking!
