Hi ive tried cooking damper in my oven at home for the last month,ive made 7 so far and though ive tried 3 different ways none rise ,some are nice tasting and the worst was the most recommended way with a can of beer,i could of used it to hammer tent pegs in,lol,,so far ive tried.
1,plain flour, pinch of salt ,can of beer fail but useful as a doorstop or hammer.
2, plain flour, pinch of salt, water and yeast,fail not very nice;
3, self raising flour, pinch of salt,water,these ones are nice to eat but dense like all the others.
4, self raising flour,pinch of salt,water and big pinch of bicarb,nice to eat not quite as dense.
The trouble is they are all the same size coming out of the oven as the lump that went in,
I just put all ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir together with wooden spoon, and pull out onto tray with spatula,
where am i going wrong? do i need to sift flour maybe?or do i need to pull out of bowl and flour outside whilest kneeding dough? or am i missing something?
look forward to any help ,
cheers Nick

.use a butter knife to mix....do not kneed at all..the more its mixed and kneeded...the dencer it will be 
Hey Nicko I'm no expert but I am sure that a little Dry Yeast mixed with warm water would do the trick. Plain Flour, Oil, salt, teaspoon sugar, dry yeast mixed with water.

Oh and when made leave it in the bowl with a tea towel over it till it doubles in size.

I hate chicken as I was in hospital for 3 weeks on antibiotic drips to kill a staph infection. I am slowly coming back but it has taken 2.5 yrs. and I am very photosensitive--sun hurts!!!
Chooks are only good for doonas

Sorry to hear of what happened to you Jaros. Did you get food poisoning from chicken?
they are good for eggs. I keep a few.
I hope lamb is more to your liking. Someone dropped 10kg into my lap today, surprisingly enough. Gyros fillets. A bit too late to cook it this weekend. damn!!
Sitting in the fridge.
I'll turn it into this. First chance i get.
Hard Luck don't listen to Jaros he's just jealous. I eat chook two to three times a week and then its fish and maybe a piece of steak. Chook should be the staple diet and your kids will thank you for it in the years to come.
Hear chook chook chook!!!!!!!

I agree.
We probably have it at least a couple of times a week. Pretty versatile stuff.
Yeah I have to force myself to eat lamb...LOL

Quite some years ago I used to work for one of our largest chicken producers..They could get a newly hatched chicken to a huge on your plate chicken in just 6 weeks with a variety of supplements. They had an experimental shed that was mostly off limits to everyone that had chickens in there almost as big as emu's.
I don't know if anyone has noticed but kids seem to develop a lot earlier than they used to and now days chicken is one of our main food groups.Could the 2 be related??(chickens full of hormones)...Sorry to go off topic and just for the record,in our household chicken is still consumed more than any other meat..
Cheers...

If you can get a copy of "Food Inc" it really is worth watching. Scary what the big companies are doing to our food supplies and to the farmers that produce it.
Food Inc is on YouTube:
