GARLIC ZUCCHINI DAMPER BREAD
I have enjoyed Australian damper bread in the past because it is tasty and easy enough to make up for my lack of baking skills. This morning I fancied bread and I also had a zucchini that needed using up. So, I tried this mixture out and it turned out pretty good. The cooking time includes the dough resting time.

Tips:
- Use fresh zucchini for the best flavor and texture. If using older zucchini, be sure to remove the seeds before grating.
- Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. This will help to release more moisture and make the damper more tender.
- Be sure to squeeze out as much excess moisture from the grated zucchini as possible. This will help to prevent the damper from becoming too wet.
- Use a combination of plain and self-raising flour for the best results. The plain flour will help to give the damper a light and fluffy texture, while the self-raising flour will help it to rise.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the damper tough.
- Bake the damper in a hot oven until it is golden brown and cooked through. A skewer inserted into the center of the damper should come out clean.
- Serve the damper warm with butter, jam, or honey.
Conclusion:
Zucchini and cheese damper is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover zucchini and it is also a healthy and nutritious snack or meal.
