Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons (72 grams) extra virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon (4 grams) fresh rosemary leaves
2 teaspoons (8 grams) active dry yeast
1 2/3 cups (207 grams ) all-purpose flour, more as needed
2/3 cup (85 grams) fine cornmeal
5 tablespoons (75 grams) granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons (6 grams) salt
2 1/4 cups (350 grams) Concord, black or red grapes
1/2 cup pine nuts 29 grams, optional
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • In a small skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Stir in 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool.
  • Place 3/4 cup (177 grams) lukewarm water (105 to 115 degrees) in a large bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over it. Let it stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the olive oil mixture, 1 2/3 cups flour, cornmeal, 3 tablespoons (54 grams) sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until it is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes, or knead in a stand mixer with a dough hook attached, for about 5 minutes. If using the stand mixer, finish the dough by hand, on a floured surface, for 1 minute. Add more flour; it could need as much as another 1/4 cup (31 grams) if the dough feels very sticky (you want damp but not unworkable dough).
  • Oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat it lightly with the oil. Cover the bowl with a dish towel. Place the bowl in a warm place, and let it rise until the dough has doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Halve the grapes if they are large. If using Concord, pit them.
  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil a large cookie sheet or baking pan (11-inch by 17-inch) with some olive oil.
  • Punch down the dough, then pat it into the pan, stretching into an oval about 3/8- to 1/2-inch thick - it should not fill the entire pan. Dimple the dough with your fingertips. Scatter the grapes and pine nuts, if using, over the dough, pressing them in lightly. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons (36 grams) sugar, 1 teaspoon rosemary, and flaky sea salt over the grapes. Drizzle all over with plenty of oil. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of grapes and rosemary seems a bit strange to me.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needed more herbs or spices. I also found the grapes to be a bit too tart. Overall, it was an okay recipe, but I probably wouldn't make it again.

This focaccia was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less grapes or maybe a different type of grape. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I've made this focaccia several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The grapes add a touch of sweetness that pairs perfectly with the savory bread. I like to top it with some crumbled goat cheese and honey before serving.

This focaccia was easy to make and turned out delicious! I used red grapes and they added a beautiful color to the bread. The rosemary gave it a wonderful flavor. I served it with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar and it was perfect.
