Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly grease a baking sheet. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups self-raising flour, 2 tbsp ground wattleseed, and 1 tsp salt. Rub in 1/4 cup diced cold butter with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Step 2: Gradually add 1 1/4 cups milk, stirring with a knife until a soft dough forms. Turn onto a floured surface and knead gently 5 times until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Shape dough into a round loaf about 7 inches in diameter. Place on the baking sheet and score a cross 1/2 inch deep on top.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, mix 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter with 1/4 cup bush tomato chutney and 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley until combined.
  6. Step 6: Serve warm damper bread sliced with a generous spread of bush tomato butter for a savory, slightly tangy complement.
