Damper is an Australian bush bread which is cooked on a camp fire during camping. It can also be cooked in an oven at home with a few ingredients. It is a type of soda bread. Technically it is a bread which does not require any yeast which makes it's texture different from other breads. Use of self raising flour makes this bread rise. It tastes delicious with butter.
I have tried it a little differently using all-purpose flour and wheat flour plus baking powder instead of self rising flour. The end result is equally good.

Steps

1 hour

1

First of all mix all-purpose flour, wheat flour, baking powder, salt and pepper powder in a big bowl. Now add butter and mix it well with your fingertips. You can even make the bread only with all-purpose flour. It can be even made with self rising flour but if you are using self rising flour then you do not have to add baking powder.
2

Now add ricotta, processed cheese and spinach leaves to it and mix everything well. Add buttermilk and make a soft dough out of it. Knead the dough until everything comes together.
3

Shape the dough like a ball and transfer it to a greased baking tray. Press the bread lightly with your hand and make a cross in the middle of the bread with the sharp knife. Brush it with little water or buttermilk to get a nice crust.
4

Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 200 degree for 30 minutes. Now lower the temperature to 180 degree and bake it again for another 20 minutes. When the bread is ready, it sounds hollow if tapped on the bottom. Take the bread out and transfer it to a wire rack and let it cool down completely before use.
5

Serve the bread as a side dish with any kind of soups or curries. It can be even used with different toppings.
