Grape Focaccia With Rosemary Recipe - A Sweet Italian Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup grapes, halved (seedless preferred)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (for drizzling, optional)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling, optional)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Activate Yeast

    In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

    Ensure the water is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  2. Prepare Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

    You may need to adjust flour or water depending on the dough's consistency.
  3. Knead Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

    Dough should be elastic but not sticky.
  4. First Rise

    Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

    A turned-off oven can provide a warm environment.
  5. Shape Focaccia

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the dough and spread it onto a greased baking sheet, creating dimples with your fingers.

    You can use a rolling pin if needed.
  6. Add Toppings

    Evenly distribute halved grapes and rosemary over the dough. Sprinkle with sea salt and coarse sugar if using.

    Press grapes gently into the dough.
  7. Second Rise

    Cover and let rise for another 20-30 minutes.

    This helps the focaccia become light and airy.
  8. Bake

    Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving if desired.

    Check for a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom.
