Add a cheesy damper to your alfresco lunch this Australia Day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (150g) self-raising flour
- 1 cup (160g) wholemeal self-raising flour
- 60g chilled unsalted butter, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped oregano leaves
- 1/2 cup (60g) grated tasty cheese
- 3/4 cup (185ml) milk, plus extra to brush
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan
Method
- Step 1Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and lightly flour a large baking tray.
- Step 2Sift flours into a large bowl with 1 teaspoon salt. Rub in the butter with your fingers until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add oregano and tasty cheese and stir to combine. Make a well in the centre and pour in milk and 1/4 cup (60ml) water, stirring to combine until you have a soft dough.
- Step 3Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes until almost smooth. Shape into a 22cm round loaf and place on the baking tray. Score a cross on the top of the damper with a floured knife, then brush with milk and sprinkle over parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden, firm and the base sounds hollow when lightly tapped.
