ABOUT Schiacciata Con l'uva (Focaccia with Grapes) RECIPE

In Tuscany, Schiacciata means “flattened down” and refers to flatbread that is otherwise known as Focaccia in Italy. Tuscans make this lovely bread with grapes during grape wine harvest. You’ll love this chewy, sweet-salty indulgence that has a unique taste of olive oil, grapes, rosemary all combined in every slice that has crisp edges and a soft crumb.

Ingredients Serving: 6

¾ cup warm water
1 and 1/2 teaspoons sugar
4 tablespoons warm milk
2 teaspoons instant dry yeast
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 and 1/2 cups black or red grapes halved
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for sprinkling on bread)
½ teaspoons coarse salt (for sprinkling on bread)
1 teaspoons fresh rosemary needles or dry rosemary

Instructions

Mix water, sugar and milk together, then add in the yeast. Let it sit for 10 minutes till it is frothy.
Add salt, flour and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Stir well and knead for 6 to 8 minutes till you get a very smooth and elastic dough.
Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl. Turn the dough around so that it is evenly coated with oil. Cover with a kitchen cloth. Let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Press the dough down with oiled hands. Then turn the dough onto a floured counter and divide it into 2 balls. Let these balls rest for 20 minutes. Brush two baking trays with oil. Apply oil in your hands and stretch these balls one by one into a rectangle shape.
Cover and let it rise for about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius. Brush the top of the Focaccia with the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle the top with grapes, rosemary, salt and sugar. Bake for 15 minutes. The crust should turn golden in colour.
Cool on a rack. Slice and serve warm or cold as desired.
