Best Australian Cheese Garlic And Chive Damper Recipes
SOUR CREAM AND CHIVE DAMPER (AUSTRALIAN BREAD)
Damper is a quick bread that is fabulous with a barbecue! Damper was traditionally made in a cast-iron pot with a lid, called a "camp oven". The entire pot was either covered in hot wood coals or the camp oven was placed in a hole in the ground and surrounded with hot wood coals. It was usually served with tea made in a billy over the camp fire. Damper was originally made with plain flour, salt and water. Adding butter and self-raising flour came later on and gives a much tastier result. I got this recipe from Taste, an Australian website. Enjoy!

Steps:

Bake for 20 minutes, then move to bottom rack of oven and cook for a further 10-15 minutes until risen and sounds hollow when tapped. Wrap in a clean tea towel to keep warm. Serve warm with butter.

CHEESE AND CHIVE DAMPER
Classic Australian damper gets a savory touch with the addition of sharp, tangy cheddar and chives, picked fresh from your garden. It's great served alongside almost any roasted meats including lamb, beef and pork.

Steps:
- The best way to make this is to mix together the dry ingredients then add the liquid and butter and mix well and then knead it for about 5 minutes.
- Then wrap it in a double layer of greased foil and place it in the coals of the campfire, poking it in and retrieving it a bit later hoping it's done.
- I've also had it where you just throw the dough into the coals and pull off the blacked outside when it's done and eat the inner part.
- To cook it in the oven preheat to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and mix well. Rub or cut in the butter. Stir in the milk to form a dough.
- Shape into a flattened ball and place on a greased baking sheet or in a round cake tin and bake for about 30 minutes.
- Doing it this way though is not traditional and just won't taste the same.
- You eat it straight away while still hot in thick slices with butter, golden syrup, jam or vegemite.
- This is great camping food and always brings back many happy camping memories.
