Wow Patricia, I can't wait to eat those things, but it can't be this week. Unfortunately, I am on a conference. Thank you, you are such a great friend

Yirgalem, You don't have to use only wholewheat flour, you can use white also... I just use what I have in the cupboards. Eat it hot with lots of butter... It's yummy.... :))

Yirgalem, I am going to send you 2 damper recipes, from the Australian Cookbook which I use. The reason for this is that I want you see how easy this is to chop and change your herbs and add/remove cheese etc.
I don't use poppyseeds in my damper, but the buttermilk and oil give it a good flavour.. If you don't have self raising flour just add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to every cup of flour you use. I recommend adding 1 beaten egg to this mixture if it is too crumbly. Sometimes I add a little of grated carrot, and you can even add cooked mashed pumpkin, just make sure you drain all the water if you boil it.
Most important just have fun and try whatever...
I have never tried steaming bread before, so it will be interesting, and neither have I heard of Bishop's Weed either, I will have to google it...:))

sorry, I just took a recipe I got from a friend and I didn't edit it. But, by "everything aim flour" is meant all-purpose flour.

Hi Patricia, sorry for the delay but I was busy. Here is a recipe for the bread you saw in the picture. I'am waiting for yours. Living in Addis, when described by me who was born and grown up there may not really give you a correct picture. I can only tell you that I love it! BUt, I will find some time to describe you in terms of some standard measurements so that you can get a better picture. OK?

Thanks for your generous offer Yirgalem. When I make bread, I use spelt flour which is an ancient grain, and if I make an Aussie Damper I use baking powder as the rising agent instead of yeast. Would you like my Aussie bread recipe in exchange for yours?? What's it like living in Addis....???

Thanks for the sweet message. My son studied at Florence University, and he got his masters degree in Computer Science. He lives in the surrounding with his girlfriend Sara. My daughter Semhal( she is the one who told me about the existance of this site), lives in Pisa and she studies Urban planning 9Academia delle belle arte) and she will finish her studies by the end of 2012. The youngest one lives with me, he is only 11 and is in 3a Liceo, here in Addis Ababa.
