Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups self-raising flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp ground native pepperberry. Stir in 1 cup diced sweet potato and 3 sliced spring onions.
  2. Step 2: Add 4 tbsp cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and rub with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 1 cup whole milk gradually, stirring with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour.
  4. Step 4: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 5-6 times until combined. Shape into a round loaf about 7 inches in diameter and place on the prepared baking tray.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 30-35 minutes until the damper is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the base. Let cool slightly before slicing to serve warm with butter or native honey.
