Schiacciata con l’Uva Recipe

“Schiacciata all’uva”

This flat bread known as schiacciata is usually sold salty and we eat it in the morning, for lunch filled like a sandwich and more generally whenever you feel like a salty break.  Around this time of the year it is prepared in a sweet version using grapes that will soon be harvested! It is oven baked, filled with grapes and delicious.
Ingredients

• 450 gr. flour
• 200 gr. sugar
• brewer’s yeast
• 1 kg red (wine, preferably cannaiolo) grapes
• extra-virgin olive oil
• salt

Preparation

Knead the flour with water, adding 15g of yeast diluted in water and a tablespoon of olive oil. Knead for about 15 minutes and then leave it to rest for at least one hour.

Grease a shallow, broad baking tin with oil and lay half of the dough in it. Lay two thirds of the grapes (previously washed and well rinsed) on top and sprinkle with 3-4 spoonfuls of sugar. Cover this with the remaining dough and then press in the remaining grapes on top, and again sprinkle with sugar.

Drizzle with oil.
Allow to rise for ¾ of an hour and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 30 minutes.
