Saved! How nice to find this simple bread recipe. It is using all stuff you normally have around the house. I"m looking forward to trying it.

I have to admit I figured there would be herbs involved somewhere here. I am just betting that a toss of your favorite herbs or some garlic would not get in the way.

In looking around I discovered that these are called 'damper' rolls because they were traditionally cooked on open fires, which were 'damped' down to a moderate heat to bake them.
