I have been wanting to try this recipe I found for Grape Focaccia. I thought it sounded pretty interesting. Fresh grapes thrown on some focaccia. I sprinkled the top with sucanat just to add a texture and taste. It went well. It may seem a little odd to some people, grapes thrown on bread and baked. But think of it like grape jelly on your biscuits. But far better!

For the Focaccia
Lori's Lipsmacking Goodness
2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast or 1 packet
2 1/2 to 3 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups warm water
In a measuring cup stir the sugar into the water. Sprinkle the yeast on top. Let set for a couple minutes. Meanwhile add salt to yeast and stir. Pour in the yeast mixture and the oil and stir to combine. Add about 2 cups of flour and combine thoroughly- adding more water if too dry and more flour if too wet. Go slowly, adding little amounts until you get a smooth dough. Knead for about five minutes. Make sure the dough is springy and smooth. Place in oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled, about an hour or so. Press into jelly roll pan. You may need to let the dough rest as you work it into the pan. If it gets springy- let it sit for about five minutes and then begin working the dough again to fit the pan. Place grapes* on top and let rise again for about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake in the oven at 375 F until golden.
* You may want to deseed them if that would bother you biting into the bread.
I made some of this last week, so I know how delicious they are, yummy!
ReplyDeleteI've had that type of focaccia before & it is so good. I tried to do something similar with dried cherries but my bread came out like a rock...
ReplyDeleteI adore baking focaccia and yours really looks wonderful with grapes and green beans.

I did this focaccia during a DB challenge and loved it. It was my own touch- with onion! Yours looks fab!
ReplyDeleteohh yum! i love focaccia! and the concord grapes sound delicious. i like putting them in savory dishes.
ReplyDeleteThe grape focaccia looks fantastic! Concord grapes are difficult to locate here in Austin, but I used to eat them in Illinois.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm back...now foccacia is definitely up my alley, and a good place for me to experiment with this business of baking grapes. YUM! The kale sounds amazing, too...I was going to sneak in some San Marzano tomato seeds when we came back from Italy this summer but chickened out...Brave man.
ReplyDeleteGrapes on focaccia sounds great! And your beans & greens look delicious, it's one of my favorite dishes :-)
