Gaida's Focaccia with Rosemary and Grapes - Harborwitch - 02-05-2008
Okay - this is it! Last one! Just for you Daphne. (I do have to add that this has replaced the Savory French Toast Bites for the wedding - they just weren't worth the work - make the Brioche, make the French toast, and then cut the little pieces. Not going there again!)
1 pound pizza dough
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
1 garlic clove minced
1 shallot, cut into thinly sliced rounds
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 cup green grapes 1/2 cup red grapes (we used green & black seedless)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Roll the pizza dough into a rectangle on a sheet of parchment paper. Place the dough and the parchment on a baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, cover the top of the dough with olive oil. Sprinkle the dough with coarse sea salt. Sprinkle the dough with the garlic, shallot, and rosemary. Spread the grapes over the top of the dough and push down into the dough. Bake the focaccia until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Cut into slices and serve.

Oh Sharon...blast you!!!!!!
The grapes just adds something that makes me want to try it just to see how it works. I can't picture it....but I'm wantin' to find out. This is a weekend experiment for sure. HMMMM? MY DH is going to learn to hate the mention of your name...LOL!
OK, now that it's copied and pasted AND added to grocery list...I think I only need the grapes. But I have a question. I assume I can use my regular focaccia bread recipe instead of the dough mentioned in the recipe? I should just weigh it out to be sure it's close to a pound. Right?

I used a focaccia recipe that I had rather than pizza dough. I'll post pictures in the morning - that'll drive everyone nuts.

don't know that it was her recipe, but I've made this before and we liked it as much as you and Bob did. Wonderful flavors - and especially good still warm.

I saw one very similar in a cookbook - not hers, but it is fantastic.

Sharon, Jean....Hello???
C&H did a red grape focaccia. October 2006 Issue 59.
They had a Focaccia with Rosemary and sea salt
Red Grape Focaccia with three cheese fondue
And Focaccia Muffuletta

don't think it was a C@h recipe, but I'll go look at that one also. Have you made this one, Erin?
Re: Gaida's Focaccia with Rosemary and Grapes - Harborwitch - 02-06-2008
I'll have to dig in the garage for my magazines - Focaccia Muffuletta sounds to die for, all my favorite things.

No, I have not tried it. I have made focaccia once - and it did turn out really well. Guess I should make it again...
Re: Gaida's Focaccia with Rosemary and Grapes - cjs - 02-06-2008
Now that you're also making pizza, Erin, you can do up a big batch, freeze it and use it for rolls, pizza, focaccia, whatever!!
It's nice having those little balls of dough waiting to be used.
