AUSTRALIAN DAMPER
Damper Bread was a staple of the early Australian settlers' diet. Traditionally, the dough was cooked directly on the coals of an open fire. If you use this method, have a beer handy in case some of the ashes on the damper are still glowing when you eat it!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) Grease a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour and the salt. With pastry blender or your hands, cut in butter. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the milk and water. Stir until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a round loaf 8 inches across. Place the loaf onto the prepared pan and using a sharp knife, cut a cross in the top.
- Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, then lower the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. The loaf should be golden brown and the bottom should sound hollow when tapped.

EASY AUSTRALIAN DAMPER
Damper is a traditional Australian bread. There are probably as many variations as there are people to cook it! This recipe comes from the Australian Women's Weekly cookbook "Muffins, Scones and Breads". This is a very useful recipe for those times when you want to make bread, but don't have time to use yeast. Damper has a hard crust and a fairly close texture. Its not a light bread (not the sort of bread you'd use to make dainty cucumber sandwiches, for example!), but it is tasty and is also good toasted. I have found various surces of information about Damper on the internet and learned that originally Damper would have been cooked in the ashes of a bush fire. The ashes were flattened and the Damper was placed there to cook for 10 minutes. Then the Damper was covered with ashes and coked for another 20-30 minutes. The Damper was cooked until it sounded hollow when tapped. This recipe was posted for Zaar World Tour 2005.

CLASSIC AUSTRALIAN DAMPER WITH GOLDEN SYRUP BUTTER
Damper is a classic Australian bread. It was originally put into a pot and buried in the hot coals of an open fire to bake. It's called "damper" because the fire is damped to allow the bread to be cooked over the hot coals that continued to emit sufficient heat after the fire was distinguished. And this recipe serves up...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour a round baking pan; set aside. (You can substitute and use a flat parchment-lined baking sheet, but using a round baking pan helps to better shape the bread.)
- 2. Sift flour and sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the butter, and rub butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- 3. Make a well in the center of the mixture, and add the milk. Stir until a dough forms. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead gently until smooth. Shape into a round ball, and place in prepared baking pan.
- 4. Using a sharp knife, score a shallow cross into the top of the damper. Brush the top with milk, and dust lightly with flour.
- 5. Bake in preheated over for 35 to 40 minutes or until damper is golden brown and sounds hollow then tapped on top. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- 6. To make the Golden Syrup Butter: Using an electric mixer, beat butter and golden syrup until smooth. Serve with warm Damper, and drizzle extra golden syrup on top, if desired.

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.
