Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes (finely chopped)
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• 0.25 cup extra flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Step 3

Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and parsley, then mix to distribute evenly.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually pour in the milk. Use a wooden spoon to mix until the dough comes together.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for 1-2 minutes until smooth.

Step 7

Shape the dough into a round loaf, about 1.5 inches thick, and place it onto the prepared baking tray.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, score a deep cross on the top of the loaf (this helps it cook evenly).

Step 9

Dust the top of the dough lightly with extra flour.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the damper is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Let cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing. Serve warm with butter or olive oil for dipping.
