Few things match the simple comfort of fresh damper bread straight from the oven. Made with everyday pantry staples, this Australian classic comes together in minutes without waiting for yeast to rise. The crust bakes into a crisp, golden shell that sounds hollow when tapped, revealing a soft, tender crumb inside. Warm slices pair effortlessly with rich melting butter, golden syrup, or a hearty bowl of evening soup.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350Β°F / 180Β°C / Gas Mark 4

Substitutions: For this recipe you can substitute all-purpose flour mixed with 3 3/4 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon extra salt for the self-rising flour.

1. Mix: Combine 2 1/2 cups of self-rising flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of melted butter in a large mixing bowl.

2. Pour: Gradually pour in 1 cup of milk while stirring continuously until a cohesive, soft dough comes together.

3. Knead: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead gently for about 5 minutes until smooth and pliable.

4. Shape: Form the dough into a round, slightly flattened disc and place it onto a greased and floured baking sheet.

5. Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to your preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes until the crust turns golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

6. Slice: Cut the loaf into generous warm slices while still steaming.

7. Shelf Life: Best enjoyed fresh from the oven. Wrap any leftover bread tightly in a clean tea towel and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

8. Savor: Slice it thick, spread with soft butter, and enjoy every warm bite.
