This is not a traditional style bread. It was made by our early settlers from whatever they had on hand and could carry on horseback. Don't try to cut this loaf like regular bread, instead pull it apart while it is still warm, put on heaps of fresh butter and golden syrup.......yum. Best cooked over coals in a camp oven, but I make it all the time at home in my regular oven. You can also add grated tasty cheese and sliced olives for a savoury damper. Great at a BBQ. It only keeps a short time though, it is dry and hard the next day.

This recipe was quick and easy- as other did, i added some ingredients for a fresh flavor: garlic powder and rosemary. The only concern is that I can't slice it as it crumbles into little pieces... any suggestions on how to fix that?

A yummy dense bread. Easy to make and a really nice flavor. I used whole wheat flour and it came out with a really hearty, nutty flavor. Great for a quick nomming snack. :D

Had to double the butter and add half a cup of milk to get this to form into something besides dry crumbs. I threw it int he oven but I am sure it will just be thrown out when its done, it looks like Ayers rock.

Self-rising flour contains salt which may make the bread to salty tasting for some reviewers. I simply omitted the added 1 tsp. salt in this recipe and it came out perfect as far as taste was concerned. I followed the recommended baking time; my loaf was golden brown and the bottom sounded hollow when tapped. After cooling and cutting it, I learned that the inside was far from done and very doughy. We cut of the outer part of the bread and it was wonderful. I will make this bread again, but will bake it longer next time.

I made this in my bread maker. I thought it had a great flavor, but husband said it was too salty. I may cut back on the salt next time to suit his tastes. Thanks for posting!
