Method
1.Preheat a 4.5-litre (18-cup) slow cooker on high for 30 minutes.
2.Meanwhile, sift flour and salt into a large bowl, using your fingertips; rub in butter. Stir in seeds, buckwheat and cheese. Stir in buttermilk and enough of the water to make a soft, sticky dough.
3.Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead lightly until smooth. Shape dough into a 16cm round on a piece of baking paper. Brush with a little extra buttermilk, sprinkle with a little extra flour; cut a 1cm deep, 10cm wide cross in top of dough.
4.Lift dough, on baking paper, into cooker. Cook, covered, on high, for 3 hours or until damper sounds hollow when tapped with fingers.
5.Preheat grill.
6.Carefully lift damper, on baking paper, from cooker; place on an oven tray. Cook under grill for 5 minutes or until browned lightly.
Damper is best made on day of serving or reheat, wrapped in foil, in the oven for 15 minutes or until warmed through.
