Best Grape Rosemary Focaccia Recipes

NO-KNEAD GRAPE & ROSEMARY FOCACCIA

Steps:

• Tip the flour, yeast, 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp salt into a large bowl. Add 250ml warm water and mix with a wooden spoon to make a sticky dough. Cover with cling film and put in the fridge for at least 10 hrs, or up to 24 hrs.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Toss the grapes in 1 tbsp olive oil in a roasting tin. Bake for 20 mins or until shriveled, then set aside to cool.
• When the dough has doubled in size and is bubbly, remove from the fridge and leave at room temperature for 1 hr. Oil a 23cm square roasting tin and scrape the dough in. Oil your hands, then fold the dough in on itself like an envelope. Turn the tin and repeat to create a square shape, then flip so that the folds are underneath. Scatter the rosemary, grapes and remaining salt over and drizzle with 2 tbsp oil. Use your fingertips to create dimples in the dough, pressing in the toppings and spreading the dough to the corners. Cover with cling film and leave to rise for 1 hr or until almost doubled in size. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 at least 20 mins before you cook the bread.
• Uncover the dough, drizzle with the remaining oil and bake on the middle shelf for 30 mins until golden brown. Cool for 10 mins in the tin before transferring to a wire rack, or eat warm.

GRAPE-AND-ROSEMARY FOCACCIA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss grapes with 1 tablespoon olive oil; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk together flour, water, both raisins, and yeast with a mixer on medium speed until combined. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in volume and bubbling, about 2 hours.
• Add salt to bowl. Switch to dough-hook attachment and mix on low speed for 5 minutes. Increase speed to medium, and mix for 30 seconds. (Dough should be loose and sticky.)
• Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface using a dough scraper. Fold bottom edge of dough up toward the center and pat gently to deflate. Fold top edge down toward the center, and pat gently. (Folds should overlap slightly.) Repeat with left and right sides, tapping off excess flour as you work. (Dough will be difficult to handle, but try not to incorporate too much flour.) Gently flip dough into a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface, and repeat folding process. Transfer dough to bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Place a pizza stone on floor of a gas oven (remove racks) or bottom rack of electric oven. Preheat oven to 425 degrees for a convection oven or 450 degrees for a conventional oven for at least 45 minutes. Alternatively, if not using a pizza stone, preheat oven 15 minutes before baking.
• Pour 1/3 cup oil into a 13-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet, coating entire surface. Turn out dough onto baking sheet, coating bottom with oil. Dip fingertips in olive oil to prevent them from sticking, and push dough out toward edges of baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand for 45 minutes, pressing dough toward edges occasionally.
• Scatter grapes over top and sprinkle with sanding sugar and rosemary. Top should be well oiled; if necessary, drizzle with up to 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Bake in lower third of oven or on preheated pizza stone, rotating halfway through, until bottom is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Immediately slide focaccia out of baking sheet onto a wire rack. Drizzle with any oil left in pan; sprinkle with flaky salt. Let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GRAPE ROSEMARY FOCACCIA

Steps:

• 1. Saute garlic in olive oil. Add grapes and heat thoroughly. Remove pan from heat; add cheese and rosemary; mix well.
• 2. Press pizza dough to fit two 12-inch pizza pans. Spread mixture evenly between the two pans.
• 3. Bake at 400°F 10 minutes or until topping and edges of bread brown. Cut each into 8 pieces.

GRAPE AND ROSEMARY FOCACCIA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F.
• In a baking dish large enough to hold grapes in one layer cook grapes in middle of oven 30 minutes, or until soft and sticky, and cool slightly.
• In a standing electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment beat together yeast, sugar, and water and let stand 5 minutes, or until foamy. Add flour, table salt, and oil and combine well.
• With dough hook knead dough 2 minutes, or until soft and slightly sticky. Form dough into a ball and let rest on a floured surface, covered with an inverted bowl, 10 minutes.
• On a lightly floured surface roll dough into an 18- by 8-inch oval. Arrange oval diagonally on greased large baking sheet and sprinkle with grapes, rosemary, coarse salt, and pepper. Let dough rise, covered loosely with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until almost doubled in bulk.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Bake focaccia in middle of oven 1 hour, or until golden, and cool on a baking sheet on a rack. Serve focaccia warm or at room temperature.

GRAPE FOCACCIA WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, stir together the water, milk, sugar, and yeast. Let the mixture sit until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add the flour, salt and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to the yeast mixture and mix well on low. Attach the dough hook, raise the speed to medium-low and knead the dough for 8 minutes longer. [And yes, you can stir this together entirely by hand with a wooden spoon, then smash it around on a floured counter to "knead" it for a bit. It'll be sticky, but doable, and of course you'll get to say you made bread "old school" style.] Brush a large bowl with a generous amount of olive oil. Scrape dough into the bowl and brush the top with additional oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a cool place until it doubles in bulk, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Press the dough down with a floured hand. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide it into two balls. Brush a large baking sheet (or two small ones) with olive oil, place the balls of dough on it and brush the top with more oil. Set it aside for 20 minutes, lightly covered with a kitchen towel. After 20 minutes, dip your fingers in olive oil and press and stretch each ball of dough into a 8 to 9-inch circle-ish shape. It will be dimpled from your fingers. Cover again with the towel and let it rise for another 1 1/4 hours in a cool place. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Brush tops of dough with remaining olive oil and top the sprinkle grapes, rosemary, prosciutto, gorgonzola, coarse sugar and coarse sea salt evenly over the dough. Bake for 15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and puffed around edges. Let cool before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
