Freshly baked Australian unleavened damper bread

Damper - Australian Unleavened Bread

Damper is a traditional Australian unleavened bread consumed by Australian Aborigines and early settlers. It's made from simple ingredients, as it was important for travelers and shepherds to bake a bread that didn't require proofing. Damper was often made over an open fire, between hot embers, but it can easily be made in an oven. The crusty, soft-centered bread is ideal with butter, honey, or jam and remains a popular food for campers and hikers in Australia today.
