I've been cooking for about 65 years (but not in a camp oven until recent years) and I successfully tried your damper in the camp oven because I agree wholeheartely with your method of mixing it, and NOT kneading it! Great success! I was also successful in using just a sprinkle of flour and then hanging the preheated oven with a tripod a certain height over the coals, didn't need as much flour in the bottom of the oven. Your way is the best.

Oldman_pottering thanks mate he is a veteran when it comes to Cooking in a Camp Oven and a great Bloke to thanks for both watching and your great comment cheers 🍺

[@oldchevy4x4]

Nicely done!!

[@Rohan-go4oo]

I bake very nice sourdough, in my cast iron camp oven, in my gas oven at home. I have had some failures when camp baking over coals. Today I am following this method of baking, particularly the loose flour in the base of the camp oven.

[@annespry946]

Caught up. Sought after. JUS SAYIN

[@3_hustles14]

wonderful demonstration thanks!

[@5mepo5]

3_ hustles yes Viv it’s a great trick and works very well for scones (you guys call em biscuits) Tomorrow night we’re having a party and that Bloke is doing the cooking 24” ovens and he makes a great bread roll

[@Hillbilly59]

I have been making damper for around 45 years and never heard of the icing sugar. I’m looking forward to giving it a go. Great vid mate! 👍

[@5mepo5]

Shane Moad thanks very much we’re glad you liked it one day when I’ve got time I’d love to try bread rolls you can cook 8 nicely in a 12 inch oven

[@Hillbilly59]

G'Day MEPO5 Here Yeah, sounds like a plan, I’m going to try that myself. 👍

[@terryedmondson3563]

Hi boys, you know what your doing, thanks very much spot on, very very good. god bless take care terry Dora Creek.

[@brian_brockleigh]

That trick with the flour on the bottom is dead set genius

[@patcummins6036]

Bit of female static in the background towards the finish but a good looking damper there Ron.

[@deepsouthNZ]

that sounds like a good do mate

[@PedroVonWorzelburger]

great! but would of loved to see the all folk taste the bugger!

[@deepsouthNZ]

great job mate

[@5mepo5]

Linc, New Zealand this fella is catering for a party for us tonight he’s cooking in a couple of 24” ovens Great bloke

[@svendbosanvovski4241]

Where are the herbs and garlic, Ronnie? Just joking mate. It looks fabulous. Smear of Aussie butter and Vegemite while it's still warm and you have fair dinkum Aussie tucker. I look forward to your video on making bush tea in a billy.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Big Gaz keeps promising to do a damper in his new dutch oven for me!

[@5mepo5]

Helga's Pennsylvania Cooking yes well the best thing about the Aussie Damper is after the basic 3 ingredients Flour Salt n water you can add savoury or a sweet touch to it

[@galupas]

This looks like the Brisbane Showgrounds?

[@5mepo5]

Yes it is Frankie

[@galupas]

@@5mepo5 I know those stairs well.

[@Smudgie]

Is it difficult to clean the flour off the bottom of the oven?

[@5mepo5]

Phil Porter GDay mate no it’s quite easy I thought the same thing when I saw it but when I did a couple it wiped straight of (if you have a clean well seasoned oven) thanks for watching hey and you can check this guy out at many of the shows he goes to throughout Queensland facebook.com/KingbrownCampOvenKitchen/

[@franceshutchinson7070]

can you please put up your recipe

[@5mepo5]

frances hutchinson He does mention the ingredients But the standard Damper Recipe I use is 4 cups Self Raising Flour Pinch of salt 1 teaspoon of Baking Powder Mix with knife adding water in small amounts until combined Thanks for watching

[@wayneburks5872]

Damper is supposed to be cooked on ashes

[@campovenking]

lol, well you can try feeding a dirty damper from a fire pit to a gang of cranky shearers or a mustering camp if you want but I think i will stick to doing it my way :)
