Swagman's Damper

Australians are known for their soda bread called Damper, traditionally it is baked on the coals of a campfire but nowadays Australians bake it in the oven. I found a great recipe online so you can you taste for yourself real Australian Damper!



Ingredients:
4 cups self-raising flour
1 teaspoon salt
20g softened butter
1 cup milk
½ cup water

Directions
1.Preheat the oven to 220°C and grease a baking tray.
2. Stir together the flour and salt in a large bowl. Rub in the butter with your hands. In the centre of the flour mixture, make a well and pour in the milk and the water. Stir everything together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a round loaf 20cm across. Then place the loaf onto the tray and cut a cross in the top with a knife.
3.Bake the bread for 25 minutes, then lower the temperature to 180°C and bake for 5 to 10 minutes. When the loaf turns golden brown, the bread should be ready.
