    How to Make Roasted Grape and Taleggio Focaccia

    1. Prepare and Rest Focaccia Dough

    Prepare your focaccia dough using your favorite recipe and allow it to rise. After the initial rise, coat a sheet pan with olive oil and line with parchment paper. Transfer the dough onto the pan and gently flatten it into shape. Allow the dough to rest and rise again for 30 minutes.

    2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Toppings

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scatter the black grapes and torn Taleggio cheese evenly over the risen dough. Drizzle with two tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with fresh rosemary leaves, and a pinch of flake salt.

    3. Bake the Focaccia

    Place the focaccia in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, until golden and bubbly. Once out of the oven, brush the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top.

    4. Cool and Serve

    Allow the focaccia to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Dough Hydration and Handling

    Embrace the high hydration of focaccia dough without adding extra flour and use the 'stretch and fold' technique for gluten development while maintaining the dough's airiness.

    Baking Temperature and Positioning

    Preheat oven to at least 425°F (220°C) and consider using a pizza stone or steel to promote a crispy bottom crust.

    Roasting the Grapes

    Enhance sweetness and concentrate flavors by roasting the grapes beforehand with a bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt.

    Herbs and Seasoning

    Add fresh rosemary or thyme and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt before baking to elevate the focaccia's flavor profile.

    Fermentation Time

    Consider an overnight cold fermentation in the refrigerator for a deeper flavor and better texture, allowing the dough to come to room temperature before baking.
