The traditional Aussie damper recipe is a simple bread that could be made over a campfire by swagmen, drovers, stockmen and other travellers in the Aussie outback.
Made with just a handful of easy-to-carry ingredients, damper doesn’t use yeast and requires no proving time, which creates a characteristically short and chewy texture.
