Damper - Australian Campfire Bread

Unleavened bread (no yeast) traditionally cooked on a campfire. It's heavier than normal bread and is best eaten immediately.

Need: Dutch oven, parchment paper is ideal, a little oil otherwise.

Ingredients: 2 cups plain flour, 2 tablespoon butter (vegan OK), 3/4 cup milk (vegan OK), 1 teaspoon salt

Build a nice hot fire or Preheat regular oven to 400 F (no need to preheat the dutch oven)

Mix flour, salt and butter into a crumbly consistency.

Add milk and mix to a consistent dough.

Shape dough into a flat, round cake on parchment paper

Place parchment paper and dough into dutch oven and cover. In lieu of parchment paper, use a little oil inside the dutch oven to prevent sticking.

Place dutch oven in hot coals or at 400F oven for 45 minutes.

Remove damper. Outside should be a hard crust. Cool a few minutes then serve with butter and/or jam.
