Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups self-raising flour and 1 tsp salt. Stir in 1 cup grated zucchini (squeezed dry) and 1/2 cup grated carrot evenly.
Step 2: Pour in 1 cup milk and 3 tbsp melted butter, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until just combined into a soft dough.
Step 3: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly 5 times. Shape into a round loaf about 7 inches in diameter and place on a baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the damper is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 5: Meanwhile, mix 1/2 cup bush tomato chutney with 1 minced garlic clove and 1/4 cup cream cheese in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 6: Serve the warm damper sliced with the bush tomato spread spread generously on top.
