Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups self-raising flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1/2 cup chopped dried quandong pieces and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary to distribute evenly.
  4. Step 4: Make a well in the center and gradually pour in 1 1/4 cups cold water, mixing gently with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
  5. Step 5: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1 minute until smooth but not sticky.
  6. Step 6: Shape the dough into a round loaf about 7 inches in diameter and place it on the prepared baking tray.
  7. Step 7: Brush the top with 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter and sprinkle 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes evenly over the surface.
  8. Step 8: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the damper is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  9. Step 9: Let cool slightly before slicing to enjoy the sweet and savory bursts of quandong and rosemary.
