Australian Cheese, Garlic and Chive Damper

i HAVE to give this recipe a 5 star rating however I had messed up by not reading the SELF raising flour! ;( but it was still soooo yummy! (and a little doughy/crunchy). cant wait to make it again and use the proper ingredient! used about 5 cloves of garlic. YAYYY! thanks Rita!

made again 3-4-2012: well used the right flour this time and accidentally used 2 cups of shredded cheddar... YUMMY!!!!! such a quick, easy meal that i usually have everything on hand. thanks again!!

I've made this a few times for dinner parties. As an ex-pat Australian I can assure you that this tastes as good as anything you can buy at the bakeries/cafe's back home. It's a fabulous accompaniment to any meal, and very easy to make! I use extra chives, extra garlic and extra cheese. The end result is much like a larger form of 'Red Lobster' biscuits. Delicious!

Delicious bread. Very easy to put together. Flavor and texture were just right. Moist and cheesy. I made this in the afternoon to take to an evening BBQ to serve alongside some Baked Gigantes Beans. They went very well together. I cut the bread into smaller servings and it kept very well until dinner. The bread was a big hit at the party. Thank you for sharing.

Outstanding flavour!! I think I made a mistake somewhere along the way, though. The dough was the consistency of a very thick muffin batter, and I wondered if it was too wet. I'm almost certain that I measured everything correctly, but I may have added too much liquid. It never really cooked properly all the way through, and I left it in for 45 minutes. I had to take it out because I was afraid it would burn. Next time I'll try using a little less liquid and see how that goes. But this is an awesome recipe! EDITED TO ADD: This bread was a hit!! The 45 minute cooking time ended up being perfect and it was gobbled up at a dinner party. I also added about 5x the amount of chives and garlic called for, and it wasn't too strong at all.

Really delicious! My mom made this last time I was visiting and sent me home with the recipe and a bag of the flour; I wasn't sure I could make it because I'm not the world's best cook but it was extremely easy! I've made it twice in the past week! The second time I added just a little bit more garlic out of personal preference. Will definitely be making this again and again!

Rita, this is one FABULOUS DAMPER! So cheesy and full of chives flavour! Mmmm! It has a very moist and soft inside with a crunchy cheesy crust on top and the taste is OUTSTANDING! The dough was easy to work with and it all went together in nearly no time. THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this winner with us, Rita! Ill surely make it again!

Bonza this was a tasty bread! For some reason, me and hand made bread don't usually go together very well. If I don't use a bread machine I usually mess it up somehow. So, I went into making this bread thinking I may have gotten myself into a bit of a sticky wicket. I really didn't need to worry because this was super easy to make and it came out tasting great. I probably cooked it for about 10 minutes longer than suggested but I have a gas oven which may have been the cause for that. I used skim milk and reduced fat tasty cheese and had no problem at all. Next time, I might make them into rolls for sandwiches. I bet they would go great with ham. Made for Chow Hounds on ZWT5.

This was a great bread! Easy to make, and very yummy. I shared it with my coworkers, who all gave it a big thumbs-up. The flavor of the garlic was perfect, just enough to know it was there, but not so much that it overpowered the other flavors. I baked this for close to 30 minutes, until the crust was a nice golden brown, and a toothpick came out clean. I'll definately make this one again. Made for ZWT by one of the Cooks with Dirty Faces.

With a whole pile of chives and cheese in the fridge, it seemed like a good time to try this recipe, and I'm so glad that I did! With every faith in Rita, I doubled the recipe and formed a dozen scone/rolls, I mixed them up in my Kenwood Chef in a jiffy, and baked them off in my convection oven/microwave .... perfection, beautifully browned, full of flavour, moist and totally delicious. I split a warm one, spread it with butter that melted in, added more grated cheese and served it to DH as a light supper, he just loved it!! I sent half a dozen with DD1, when she went back to varsity after the weekend, so that I know she has something substantial and nutritious to eat for the next few days! I'll definitely be making these again before too long! Thanks Rita!!!

I really liked this little biscuit. I made pigs in a blankets and used this as the blanket part and kelbasa as the piggy. It worked perfect. Baked for about 18 minutes for pig in the blanket perfection!

I love Dampers, they are so easy to make and this one is really tasty. I didnt have chives on hand but used fresh parsley instead. Teamed up with a vegetable soup this made a wonderful meal. Thankyou so much :)

This was such a simple and flavorful bread to make. I used my pastery cutter instead of my fingers or a knife and it worked out great. This was just too easy. Followed the rest of the directions to the letter. I used this to make Kelbel's Pizzeria Crostini which made for a wonderful meal.
