Recipes Grape Focaccia (Schiacciata) | SOSCuisine (2024)

1. Dissolve the yeast in a few tablespoons of the lukewarm water. Leave aside until little bubbles begin to form.
2. In a bowl, sift the flour and add the yeast mixture. Add the rest of the water little by little, working the dough well after each addition, to allow the flour to absorb all the water. If, while adding the water, you see that it's losing its elasticity add a bit more flour until it returns to a dough. Place the dough onto a well floured surface and knead for about 5-10 min or until the dough is elastic and bounces back when you poke it. Roll into a ball and place it into a clean bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and set it in a warm place, away from drafts, until it doubles in size (about 2 hours).
3. When the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F. Line a 26x32cm rectangular baking pan with baking paper and oil it lightly.
4. Using well-floured hands take the dough out of the bowl (it will be sticky!). Divide the dough into two balls, one larger than the other (about 2/3 and 1/3 of the total). Roll out the larger ball on a well-floured surface. Lay the dough in the pan, pushing the dough to cover the sides.
5. Scatter about half of the grapes on the first dough layer and sprinkle half of the sugar over, with half of the oil.
6. Roll out the second ball of dough and cover the grapes with this second layer of dough, sealing the edges well with your fingers. Cover the top with the remaining grapes and sprinkle over the remaining sugar and oil.
7. Bake for about 30 min or until the dough becomes golden and crunchy on top and the grapes are oozing and cooked.
8. Allow to cool completely before serving. Cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
