Today I baked the quintesentail Aussie dish, Damper. Traditionally cooked in the coals of a swagman’s fire whilst his billy boils or however the song goes, I decided to just throw mine in the oven and put the kettle on.
I added cheese, bacon, garlic, chopped onion, some basil and oregano, so not quite the traditional flavour, but super tasty anyway. Mum and I just had a slice for lunch, the rest will be served up with our dinner of pesto pasta, mmm.
I'm a twenty something WAHM, originally from England and now living in a land downunder.
That looks gorgeous. I’m so hungry right now. I’ve made bread but never damper. I’m gonna look into it.

Thanks Bells, I wish I could link you to the recipe I used but it was actually off the back of a packet of White Wings SR Flour

It’s breakfast time here in the States, and that looks delicious. I can almost smell it if I knew what damper was
