This damper is a lovely rustic bread! Very easy to make. I doubled the apricots because we love them, and added a handful of walnuts. Forgot the splenda, but sprinkled sugar on top. Still delicious, but will remember to add sweetener to the bread next time around. Very much enjoyed the damper warm, with butter and home-made apricot jam. Thanks Debb, for sharing!

These dampers are absolutely delicous!! Like some reviewers, I used fresh apricots, which was a lovely addition! When I was mixing the dough, I decided to throw a few other things in (I love a scone full of fruit and nuts!) - a handful of golden raisins, a handful or two of walnuts, and a handful of cinnamon chips. I also used Homemade Self-Rising White Flour or Whole Wheat Flour as I discovered I didn't have any self rising flour on hand. These puffed up so beautifully! Thanks, Deb, for a real keeper of a recipe! Made for PRMR Tag.
