Cheese And Herb Damper Recipes

5 INGREDIENT AUSTRALIAN DAMPER RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 180˚C (360˚F), and line a tray with baking paper.
• Next, place the self-raising flour, salt in a large mixing bowl (along with half the rosemary if using). Chop the butter into small cubes, pop it to the flour mix and rub it into the flour with your hands to combine.
• Form a well in the centre, then pour in the milk and water. Give everything a really good stir until it forms a nice dough.
• Divide the dough into four portions for tasty mini dampers, or make one large damper.
• Now pop your dough onto the lined tray and slice a cross into the top using a sharp knife.
• Optional: Garnish with remaining rosemary.
• Bake for around 25 mins at 180˚C (360˚F) until your gorgeous damper is golden brown and delicious. Tap the bottom and your damper should sound hollow - that's when you know you're done!
