- Have you ever tried damper, cooked the traditional way on a smoldering campfire? This homemade bread was first made by European settlers and is still a popular food in the bush today. Subscribe 🔔 ab.co/ABCAus-su...
Former drover Tac Towns was at the Jack Johnson Memorial Gala Day in Scone, NSW, to teach people how to prepare this belly-filling Aussie classic.
Simply add three cups of self-raising flour into a bowl and add a cup of powdered milk, a pinch of salt and mix it through. (Tac uses a knife, but a spoon probably works best!) Then add two cups of water and mix that through until it becomes a thick dough. Now place the damper mixture on a flour-covered board and sprinkle a bit more flour on top. Pat it into shape using a spatula (or any other similar kitchen utensil you’ve got to hand). Place the damper into a pot pre-heated on the campfire, pop the lid on and place some coals on top. (Make sure you don’t burn yourself!) After 40 minutes or so you should have a perfectly cooked damper.
You can vary the recipe by adding other ingredients such as sultanas and sugar - which Tac comically refers to as ‘spotted dog’. Serve warm with some butter and Cocky’s Joy (golden syrup). Bon Appetit!

The big knife is the secret - tried it and came out perfect! Thanks
No nonsense Aussie Bush camp cooking - love it 🍞
Your damper turns out fantastic soft inside crusty on the outside perfect!!! I'm going to copy the way you have done it thanks bob.😁
I felt that stirring with the knife deep within my bones.... like nails on a blackboard.
Haha I know what u mean but why hes doing it not to touch the dough at all the better the damper with turn out perfectly!!
Damper looks nice making me hungry now.
Quite similar to bannock & w/any base bread such as this you can add most anything you want or have to it. From berries, raisins, fruits, oats, honey... whatever. Very easy and forgiving as well. Well done. I'll have to try the powdered milk bit.
I love my damper just with butter by its or with honey sometimes too yummy 😁 Adelaide south Australia
And one of the ‘mites?
I cannot have gluten (unless I’m inclined to be sick), but the sight of that bread, er, damper makes for a desire for *Vegemite* - though Promite, and Marmite would be welcome, too!
This is how a man cook 👏🏻
Thank-you mate. Im Going to give it a go. Can't wait.💜
Loved this so much! ❤
Gonna have to try it powered milk next time.
Awesome !!!
Love it ❤
the knife stirring was painful 😲😲
Where's the bloody golden syrup mate? Not a real damper, without a tin of jam, or golden syrup.
Milk and butter would go off in half a heartbeat out bush. Hence the powdered moo juice...
The only way this could have been better? Is for it to be done directly in the coals. Nevertheless, good job mate. ☕🫓
And a dash of one’s favorite ‘mite. I have tried, and enjoyed greatly, Vegemite, Promite, and Marmite. They’re hard to find here, and costly when they *can* be found….
I get that it's just a bit of extra flair for the show, but don't go using your knife to mix dough in a steel bowl. All it will be good for after that is spreading butter on your freshly made damper.
A lot of people use a knife to mix the damper…& scone dough. It’s usually just a butter knife tho.
dutch oven
Lost me at milk powder
Sure.... but it changes it to taste FAR better. Use lactose free milk and lessen the water and you'll see. It's like high grade bread. Especially the sultana version which is like raison bread.
Traditional bread ?White salt ?white flour ? powdered milk? traditional my ass
☝️ I was wondering using powered milk once they are in the farm. Cows 🐄 be like 😒 for real ! Or he just really respect the cows 🐮 🙏🏻
Salt and self raising flour is the replacement for yeast (traditional) and you’d add milk and not powder milk. But this way is easier and quicker so that’s why he did it, same recipe but slightly different ingredients
This is a traditional campfire bread. You use milk powder because it’s lighter to carry and doesn’t need refrigeration when you are camping.
@@cuteduckdontlie4636 you're got ZERO CLUE about outback life. Where are you getting fresh milk from going hundreds of miles on horseback in a few weeks herding cows which only see humans once a year. Like I said, you SERIOUSLY have no idea about outback jobs and life.
This is traditional for OUTBACK farm hands, like late 1800s style. Aboriginals used to eat mainly meat but also now eat a reasonable amount of damper.
Fun fact the First Nations people invented bread
ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY BS!!!! They had a OCCASIONAL use of "pilaf" and NEVER HAD bread as such. Just a few bits of "hard tack" cooked on rocks that was quite rare for them to eat. I guarantee you never grew up ANYWHERE NEAR the outback.
Wrong 'fun fact' it was ancient Egyptians.
