CAST IRON: Cheese Damper

Cast Iron:  What's for Dinner?  A dish of memories!  
                                     Cheesy Garlic Damper (aussie for bread)

I was blessed to be online friends with a great guy from Australia.  Brian was a par excellence cast iron cook, and a great fellow to chat with.  He had a Facebook group of "Camp Oven Cooking"  This is a tip of the hat to Brian, RIP. 

3 cups Self Rising flour  (I used Bisquick)
pinch of salt
Rub in 2 TBS of butter (optional)
1 c. evaporated milk
1 egg
Mix all together.
Add
4 clove of minced garlic
1 TBS garlic powder
1 TBS onion granules
1 cup of shredded cheese (I like Colby Jack Mix)
1/4 c. parmesan

Dough should be moist, but not really sticky. 
 You don’t want it either to wet or to dry.
Form a ball and slightly flatten, as it will rise during baking.
Mist the top of the loaf with some cooking spray.
Sprinkle parmesan cheese on the top.
Set aside until ready to cook.
Preheat 12" Dutch oven, either in regular oven at 400 or with briquettes.  
 Place mix inside, put on lid and cook over moderate heat for 30 minutes.
( I did 2 rings of coals on the lid and 5 under the oven)
