- This is so tasty, thanks for the recipe! It has become a favorite for us. I've found 1/2 to 3/4 tsp to be about the right amount of salt but less if fine if using a salty cheese.
- mandy, this damper is just fantastic!!!! It is easy to make, has a wonderful crunchy crust with a lovely soft interior and such a great taste! Mmmm! The chives and the pumpkin pair really well and the cheese adds a lovely gooey goodness. I made my own pumpkin mash out of fresh hokkaido, so that it was rather wet and I left out the milk to compensate for that. The dough was easy to work with and I will surely make this again! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this winner with us! Made and reviewed for 1-2-3-Hit Wonders June 2010.
- Great bread Mandy! I have had damper bread just once prepared by an Australian so was eager to try your pumpkin-cheese-chive combination. It was a winner. I slathered it with butter and almost ate the entire loaf myself (lol). Thanks!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
