Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 2 tbsp ground wattleseed, and 1 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: Add 1/3 cup cold unsalted butter diced into the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 cup finely chopped native spinach. In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup whole milk with 1 tbsp honey until combined.
  4. Step 4: Pour the milk and honey mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently 5 times.
  5. Step 5: Shape the dough into a round loaf about 7 inches in diameter and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to score a cross pattern on top.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the damper is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
