Description

Grape Rosemary focaccia rec with crispy crust vibrant aroma easy steps pro tips serve warm for crowdpleasing bites and weeknight treats


Ingredients

Bread flour or high-protein all-purpose flour

Active dry yeast or instant yeast

Warm water (about 110°F / 45°C)

Extra-virgin olive oil

Sugar or honey

Fine sea salt

Fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Red or purple grapes, halved or left whole

Flaky sea salt, for finishing


Instructions

  • Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together warm water, yeast, and sugar until foamy, about 5–10 minutes. This activates the yeast and builds flavor.

  • Combine the ingredients: Add flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead on a lightly floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

    • Mixer method: Use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for about 5 minutes.

  • First rise: Lightly oil a clean bowl, place the dough inside, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size — about 60–75 minutes.

  • Shape and rest: Generously oil a rimmed baking sheet. Gently deflate the dough, stretch it to about 1/2 inch thick, and press it toward the edges of the pan. Cover and let rest for 20–30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).

  • Second rise and toppings: Uncover the dough and dimple the surface all over with your fingertips. Drizzle with a little more olive oil, sprinkle chopped rosemary, and press grape halves into the surface. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

  • Bake to perfection: Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the crust is deep golden and the edges are crisp. The bottom should sound hollow when tapped, and the grapes should glisten with caramelized edges.

  • Cool and serve: Remove from the oven, drizzle with a touch more olive oil if desired, and let cool for 5–10 minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
