Yes and even a dummy like me can do it.
Put a can or stubbie of full strength beer in a bowl and add self raising flour till you have a bread / damper consistency. Add a little salt if you wish and bake in
camp over till done. About 2 beers time it takes. It should be eaten that day as it doesn't keep
well but ours always disappears before bed time.
If you like you can add sultanas,chocolate, or other goodies and have it as a desert damper. Beauuuutiful.........
Hope you enjoy it. Ian

If you drink more beers does it taste better?

don't add salt, it causes a chemical reaction and spoils the bread.

Yep above recipe is good.
You can add stuff too, like sultanas etc for a sweet damper, Cooked bacon, sun dried tomatoes, olives and cheese for a savoury one.
Good stuff.
If you are cooking it in a
camp oven use a trivet under a flat pan as it stops it buring on the bottom.

If you don't have beer you can use ginger beer....

For a sweet damper use lemonade , if want a real special soak a handful of dried fruit [raisins,apricots ect] in some Cointreau for 1/2hr before adding to a sweets damper mix.

here is one they use at the
jondaryan woolshed on the
darling downs. i have not tried to make it as yet so interested in knowing how yours turns out.
into a bowl add 4 cups S R flour, a pinch of salt and 2 1/2 cups water. mix by using a broadblade knife. work into a ball shape and cut in half and mix again. turn out onto table and work by pressing mixture up (do not mix by pushing down as it takes the air out). fluff it up. sprinkle flour on base of oven and
cook on low heat 45 mins. if when tapped it sounds hollow it is cooked. knock off the flour and slice up and eat - yum yum - let me now how it goes

Gday,
Just but packets of bread mix from the supermarket.
Comes with yeast and all.
Cheers

This is simple and it works. We made thousands of loaves of this in our Restaurant instead of Bread Rolls. It was a big hit.
Put whatever quantity of Self Raising Flour you reckon you need into a bowl. Good shake of salt. Add water and stick your mit in and mix it up. Keep adding water until the consistency is "gloopy", that is between a dough and batter consistency.
Don't worry about lumps, they
cook out.
Cheers,
Jim.

About 200 to 230 depending on your oven. Has to be hot to get a good brown crust.
Ideally cooked in real bread tins. They are the black ones. Need to be seasoned, then simply brush with oil each time before use. Never wash them.
