Ingredients
– 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon instant yeast
– 1 1/4 cups (295ml) warm water
– 3 tablespoons (45ml) olive oil, plus more for drizzling
– 1 cup (150g) seedless grapes, halved
– 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
Instructions
1. – In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast. Add the warm water and 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
2. – Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
3. – Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4. – Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
5. – Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Gently stretch and press the dough into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan.
6. – Arrange the grape halves evenly over the dough and sprinkle with the chopped rosemary.
7. – Drizzle the top of the focaccia with additional olive oil.
8. – Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown.
9. – Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
– For a more pronounced grape flavor, you can use a combination of green and red grapes.
– Experiment with different herbs, such as thyme or oregano, to complement the grapes.
– This focaccia is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
