Ingredients:
  • Vegetable oil, to grease
  • 80g (1/2 cup) pepitas (pumpkin seed kernels)
  • 240g (1 1/2 cups) wholemeal self-raising flour
  • 150g (1 cup) self-raising flour
  • 2.40 gm salt
  • 90g butter, melted
  • 185ml (3/4 cup) milk
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) water
  • Extra milk, to glaze
  • 1/2 tsp caraway seeds
  • 60g butter, softened
  • 20.00 ml chopped fresh continental parsley
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh chives
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C. Lightly grease a baking tray with oil. Set aside 1 tablespoon of pepitas. In a food processor, roughly chop the rest of the pepitas. Add wholemeal and self-raising flours, salt, and the flour husks in the sieve. Blend until combined. Pour in melted butter, milk, and water, then mix until just combined.
  • Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and softly knead for about 20 seconds until it reaches a smooth consistency. Next, position the dough on the prepared tray and mold it into a 20cm disc, around 3cm in thickness. Take a sharp knife dusted in flour to score the dough into 8 wedges (do not slice completely through). Lastly, glaze with extra milk and top with the mix of reserved pepitas and caraway seeds. Place in a preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Lower the temperature to 180°C and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the damper sounds hollow when tapped on the base. Take it out of the oven and let it rest.
  • Prepare the herb butter by mixing butter, parsley, and chives in a small bowl.
  • Enjoy the damper warm or at room temperature alongside herb butter.
