Australian damper bread
Report
This quick and easy bread is traditionally made in the fire, but is easily made in your oven, too. It's great as a snack or as a side to a meal.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F/190C. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Mix the flour and salt together in a bowl. Cut the butter into small cubes then rub the butter into the flour with your fingers to give a rough crumb texture.
- Add the milk and mix in with a blunt knife so the dough comes together. Gradually add the water so that you incorporate all of the flour into the dough. It should be soft but not particularly sticky.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface and scoop out the dough onto it. Flour your hands and gently bring the dough into a flattened ball and toss in the flour so it is lightly floured on the outside.
- Transfer the dough to the lined baking sheet, score the top (for this size, into quarters is good, but you can do more if you like). Bake for approximately 30 minutes until the outside is gently golden and the base sounds hollow when you tap it. Let cool a little before slicing or cutting chunks (you can also break down the score marks, if they are clear enough after baking).
Notes
- If you don't have self raising flour, then you can use all purpose/plain flour with baking powder instead - combine 1 ½ cups less 2 teaspoon (203g) of all purpose/plain flour with 2 teaspoon of baking powder. Ideally, you should sift them together so they are evenly mixed, but even just mixing well in a bowl should be fine.
