AUSTRALIAN CHEESE, GARLIC AND CHIVE DAMPER
Damper is a traditional Australian bread, made without yeast, and commonly made on a campfire in a cast iron camp oven. This is tweeked from Margaret E. Walker article in Outback Camping When Margaret was asked her what kind of tasty cheese, and learned that the word 'tasty' is used in Australia the way 'sharp' is used in the US. We thanked Margaret for helping us learn and had a good laugh at the thought of eating non-tasty cheese.

AUSTRALIAN DAMPER
Damper Bread was a staple of the early Australian settlers' diet. Traditionally, the dough was cooked directly on the coals of an open fire. If you use this method, have a beer handy in case some of the ashes on the damper are still glowing when you eat it!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) Grease a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour and the salt. With pastry blender or your hands, cut in butter. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the milk and water. Stir until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a round loaf 8 inches across. Place the loaf onto the prepared pan and using a sharp knife, cut a cross in the top.
- Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, then lower the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. The loaf should be golden brown and the bottom should sound hollow when tapped.

Tips:
- To ensure a light and fluffy damper, avoid overworking the dough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- For a cheesy and flavorful damper, use a good quality cheddar cheese. Grating the cheese yourself will give you better results than using pre-shredded cheese.
- Fresh sage leaves will give the damper the best flavor. If you don't have fresh sage, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried sage.
- Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the damper. This will help the damper to rise evenly.
- To test if the damper is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the damper is done. If it comes out with wet batter, bake for a few minutes longer.
- Serve the damper warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam or spread.

Cheese and sage damper is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and fluffy, with a cheesy and flavorful interior. The sage adds a touch of herbaceousness that perfectly complements the cheese. This damper is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
