The Perfect Damper
You’ll find a lot of recipes to make good old Aussie damper, but this one always turns out crusty on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just like traditional damper should be. How to make the perfect damper: key tips The technique for adding the water is what ensures your damper rises just right and has the ideal texture. There is no kneading involved, as you really don’t want to overwork the dough and cause your damper loaf to become too flat and dense. Using a flat-bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix until the mixture just comes together works quite well. Place your damper on a wire rack and cook it over a campfire or in a kettle barbecue for about 20 minutes or until the damper is cooked through and sounds hollow when tapped on the base. Serve warm or at room temperature. Key ingredients in the perfect damper recipe You only need 3 ingredients for this damper – self-raising flour, salt and water. The flour gives rise to the loaf, the salt adds flavour and the water adds moisture. It’s the perfect combination for a simple and perfect Aussie damper.
