Native Damper mix

🌿 New Native Damper Mix at Bush to Bowl! 🌿

We're excited to bring you our new Native Damper Mix, featuring three unique and delicious flavours: Lemon Myrtle, Saltbush, and Wattleseed. Aboriginal people have been making bread for thousands of years from a range of native grains and our traditional flavours.

Perfect for a traditional Australian treat or addition to your meal with a native twist!

This mix is designed to serve four people, making it a great option for family meals, picnics, or a unique addition to any gathering. Here's what you can expect from each of the distinctive flavors:

**🌿 Lemon Myrtle:**
Enjoy the zesty, citrusy aroma of Lemon Myrtle, which adds a refreshing brightness to your damper. This native herb brings a delicate lemon fragrance with subtle floral notes, making each bite both vibrant and uplifting.

**🌿 Saltbush:**
Saltbush offers a slightly salty and savory flavor, bringing a taste reminiscent of the Australian bush. It’s a great balance to the richness of the damper, adding a hint of umami that perfectly complements its light, fluffy texture.

**🌿 Wattleseed:**
With a warm, nutty taste and a hint of coffee and chocolate, Wattleseed gives your damper a rich and earthy undertone. The roasted flavor adds a wholesome, hearty depth, making it a perfect match for this rustic bread.

Damper Recipe & Cooking Guide (For First-Time Cooks)

Ingredients:
- 2 cups self-raising flour
- ½ tsp salt
- mix in your flavour
- 1 cup water (or milk for a richer damper)
- 1 tbsp butter (optional, for a softer texture)

**Instructions:**

1. Preheat your oven

To 200°C (390°F). If you’re cooking over a fire, ensure your coals are hot and ready.

2. Combine the dry ingredients

In a large bowl, mix together the self-raising flour, salt, Lemon Myrtle, Saltbush, and Wattleseed.

3. Add liquid

Slowly pour in the water (or milk) and mix until a soft dough forms. If you’re using butter, rub it into the dry ingredients before adding the liquid for a more tender result.

4. Knead the dough

On a floured surface, gently knead the dough for about 2 minutes until smooth. Be careful not to overwork it, as damper is best when light and fluffy.

5. Shape the damper

Form the dough into a round loaf and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Score the top with a knife to help it cook evenly.

6. Cook
In the oven: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the damper is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Over the fire: Wrap the damper in foil and place it directly on the hot coals. Cook for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.

7. Serve Let the damper cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with butter, bush honey, or your favorite spread!

Whether you’re cooking by the fire or in the kitchen, our Native Damper Mix is an easy and delicious way to enjoy the traditional flavors of Australia’s native ingredients. Perfect for sharing with friends and family!
