Australian Damper

 This recipe is basic, but adding mix ins can make it fun and delicious.

Ingredients:

2 c flour (wheat flour)

4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 to 1 cup milk

Options to Add:  1/4 c sugar and 1 mashed banana

1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 c raisins, 1/4 c sugar

1/4 c grated cheese

Method:

Mix all ingredients together until the bread can be formed into a loaf.  Traditionally the damper was wrapped around a stick and cooked in the ashes of a fire.  But since we have ovens, I place mine on a stone and bake.

Cook at 375 degrees F for 30-35 min or until bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
