Oh yeah…that sounds like the ultimate in comfort food. Just like polenta in Italy, naan in India, johnny cake in the south USA, etc etc!

An Aussie damper is a rough ball shaped bread originally made (thrown together) in the ‘outback’ in a dirt oven. Similar to soda bread it is made with pretty much any variation of self raising flour, salt, milk or water with or without butter and sugar. The idea is that it was made by the poorer drover, swaggie or outback family while on the road and from whatever they had available wrapped in bark or leaves or put in a iron pot and buried in the ashes of a fire. It is YUM hot and a little floury to taste.

I like any sort of bread, especially Aussie Damper. Rice Pudding with orange or rose flower water, mamooul (dates in biscuit type paste), vegemite and hummous with tahini.
Looking forward to discovering the rest of this blog.
