AJ shares how to cook traditional bush damper or bread in Australian style. He explains that damper is the bush-bread of Australia and was originally baked by drovers in camp ovens buried in the hot ashes of their campfires in the Outback. However, AJ mentions that if you don't want to build a campfire in your backyard, damper can also be baked in a normal kitchen oven.
To make damper, AJ suggests mixing flour, salt, and water to form a dough. He then shapes the dough into a round ball and places it on a baking tray lined with baking paper. AJ scores the top of the dough ball with a cross-shaped pattern and bakes it in a preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
To eat a damper, AJ recommends cutting it into rustic chunky slices and spreading a liberal amount of butter on it. He also suggests topping it with either jam, honey, or Golden Syrup for added flavor. AJ emphasizes how delicious and satisfying it is to enjoy damper with a cup of billy tea.
AJ's love for traditional Australian bush food and his passion for sharing it with others is evident in his cooking of damper. His simple and easy-to-follow recipe makes it accessible for anyone to try their hand at baking their own damper, whether in the Outback or in the comfort of their own home.
