Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups self-raising flour, 2 tbsp ground wattleseed, 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts, and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
  2. Step 2: Make a well in the center and gradually add 3/4 cup cold water, stirring with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
  3. Step 3: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1 minute until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Shape the dough into a round loaf approximately 7 inches in diameter and brush the top with 2 tbsp melted butter.
  5. Step 5: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a heavy-based skillet over low heat. Place the dough in the skillet and cover with a lid.
  6. Step 6: Cook for 25 minutes on low heat, checking occasionally to ensure the bottom doesn't burn.
  7. Step 7: Carefully flip the damper using a spatula, cover, and cook for an additional 20 minutes until the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
  8. Step 8: Remove from heat and let cool slightly before slicing.
