Damiens Damper Recipe | Warndu Australian Bush Tucker

Prep Time: 15 mins

Cooking Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons macadamia or lemon myrtle infused oil
  • 300-350ml water
  • 500g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons roasted and ground wattleseed (or lemon myrtle, strawberry gum, bush tomato, or saltbush)

Method:

1. If using the oven, preheat to 220°C.

2. Mix the oil and water in a jug. Sift the flour into a large bowl, and mix through the salt and wattleseed (spice). Slowly pour in the oil and water, and mix to make a dough.

3. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Dust with flour, place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes,
or ideally wrap in foil and cook on a fire in the ashes. Damper
is always best eaten hot with lashings of butter.
