Pumpkin and Bacon Damper – Pan Barbecued

Damper is a traditional Australian “bush” bread which was cooked in the hot coals of campfires.It’s ok to use an oven these days but this one is done on a grill. This is a nice twist on an old Aussie favourite.

Baby Dampers With Herbed Mascarpone

You can prepare the mascarpone & mashed pumpkin up to 6 hours ahead, cover & store in fridge until picking up where you left off. From Australian Good Taste magazine.

Rhubarb Ginger Damper

Damper is a traditional Australian bread, but this version is cut up and served as a kind of scone. The recipe comes from the Australian Women’s Weekly cookbook “Muffins, Scones and Breads”. Recipe posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. NOTE: Australian chefs use a larger tablespoon measure so will only need 2 tablespoons of crystallised ginger and the same for the extra sugar.

Good Ol’ Aussie Damper

This is an Australian bread which has been made for over 100 years. It was made by people camping in the bush by mixing flour and water, but now milk and salt are used for flavor. Enjoy the bread spread with jam. There are many variations to the recipe too, such as pumpkin damper. The dough was traditionally places on a stick and cooked over a fire (much the same way toasted marshmallows. are made)
