Focaccia with Grapes / Schiacciata con l'Uva

Labels: { , }

"Schiacciata con l'Uva" is a traditional flatbread made in Tuscany-what everyone else in Italy calls "Focaccia", in the autumn. Nicely golden and crisp on the outside, laid with juicy sweet red grapes and sprinkled with brown sugar, this focaccia tastes wonderfully delicious with a glass of Chianti! Don't you love its rustic look!

My Little Space 1/9/10 12:36

Ooo... Angie, this is such a beauty! Love what you did to the bread. Yumm.... The other day, I saw some tiny grapes which is about the size of a raisin, even smaller! Gosh, that is so cute. Maybe I purchase it on my next trip to the hypermarket. Quite expensive though. Hope you're enjoying your bread now. Have a lovely day.
Cheers, kristy

Hey Angie, I have never seen bread with grapes. How interesting. Always olives and other vegetabels and herbs. This looks like a nice way to end the summer over here in London with a nice bottle of red wine! YummY!

kitblue 2/9/10 22:24

Confession: just found your blog through FoodBuzz and I got lost in it for an hour. Bread is my passion and you have great recipes for whole grains and little/no sweetener. I need to get serious about keeping a sour dough culture to take advantage of wonderful hearty bread. Signed up for email.

Angie, I've never thought that focaccia can be sweet too! Thank you for sharing! Btw, I've been addicted to grapes lately. I might throw some onto my focaccia when I get around to do so, since grapes have become a regular in my pantry. They're great for snacking! Healthy and not fattening! =D

Ben @ Kissing the Cook 18/9/10 20:06

This is such a wonderfully creative use of grapes, which don't get nearly the respect they should in the baking world! Until now, my focaccia has used more traditional toppings. Aside from enjoying it with that chianti, what uses would you recommend for this unusual combination?

Thanks for sharing this.
