How to Make Australian Damper Bread Machine

  1. Combine all ingredients (except the boiling water) in your bread machine pan, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  2. Add the boiling water directly to the dry ingredients.
  3. Select the dough cycle on your bread machine. If your machine has a setting for 'rustic bread' or 'whole wheat,' select that. Otherwise, a basic dough cycle is perfect.
  4. Once the dough cycle is complete, check the consistency of the dough. If it feels too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  5. Shape the dough into a round or oblong loaf and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife or lame in a criss-cross pattern. This allows for better expansion during baking.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 90°C (195°F). (Use a food thermometer to ensure it's cooked through).
  8. Let the damper cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy with your favorite spread or on its own!
