Directions:Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
Sift flour and salt together in a large bowl. Using fingers rub in the chopped butter until it is the consistency of breadcrumbs. Add cheeses and chives. Mix well.
Combine milk and water. Make a well in flour and pour in all of the liquid, reserving a little for glaze. Mix quickly into a soft dough, using a knife or the hands.
Turn onto a lightly floured board and knead lightly. Press into a round. Place onto a greased baking tray. Glaze with leftover milk and water mixture and sprinkle with extra cheese.
Bake 15-20 minutes in preheated 220°C (425°F) oven, and serve sliced with butter.
Individual dampers can also be shaped and baked for the same time and temperature. |

Notes: Damper is the tradition bushman's bread. Simple to make and long keeping. In the bush it was cooked under the hot coals of a fire whilst wrapped in foil. It was enjoyed with a cup of sweet tea under the shade of a tree out of the sun.
