Grape and Rosemary Focaccia

2.5

(2)

Ingredients

1/2 pound seedless red grapes
two 1/4-ounce packages active dry yeast (5 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
4 1/4 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon table salt
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves
coarse salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 300°F.

    Step 2

    In a baking dish large enough to hold grapes in one layer cook grapes in middle of oven 30 minutes, or until soft and sticky, and cool slightly.

    Step 3

    In a standing electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment beat together yeast, sugar, and water and let stand 5 minutes, or until foamy. Add flour, table salt, and oil and combine well.

    Step 4

    With dough hook knead dough 2 minutes, or until soft and slightly sticky. Form dough into a ball and let rest on a floured surface, covered with an inverted bowl, 10 minutes.

    Step 5

    On a lightly floured surface roll dough into an 18- by 8-inch oval. Arrange oval diagonally on greased large baking sheet and sprinkle with grapes, rosemary, coarse salt, and pepper. Let dough rise, covered loosely with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until almost doubled in bulk.

    Step 6

    Preheat oven to 375°F.

    Step 7

    Bake focaccia in middle of oven 1 hour, or until golden, and cool on a baking sheet on a rack. Serve focaccia warm or at room temperature.
