Damper

Damper was the staple bread of Australian bush workers, baked in the ashes of a campfire with whatever flour and water were on hand.

A simple soda bread baked by Australian stockmen over campfire coals — a dense, satisfying loaf with a crisp crust, traditionally served with golden syrup or jam.

Ingredients

Method

Handle the dough as little as possible — overworking makes damper tough instead of light.
