Grape and Rosemary Focaccia

I haven't attempted for focaccia in ages, but after getting a KitchenAid stand mixer, I thought it'd be a good dough to try it out!
Foccacia is a very wet dough, so is really tricky to knead by hand. It can be done, but will be messy!
I topped this focaccia with grapes - sounds weird I know, but the slight tang of the red grape really complemented the bread well!
Makes 1 focaccia (serves 4-6)

Ingredients:

• 600g strong white bread flour
• 3 tsp sea salt
• 2 tsp instant dried yeast
• 360ml (1 & 1/2 cups) water
• 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 
• 100g red grapes (seedless)
• 10g (2 tsp) sea salt flakes
• 10g fresh rosemary

Method:

1. Pour the water and oil into the bowl of your stand mixer. In a separate bowl, sift in the bread flour. To opposite sides of the bowl, add 1 tsp of the salt and the yeast. Stir briefly to mix. 

2. Pour the dry ingredients into the water and 1/2 cup of the oil, and start the stand mixer (with the dough hook attachment) on a low speed. Once all of the flour has been incorporated, turn the speed of the mixer up to medium and knead for around 7 minutes. If doing by hand, knead for about 12 minutes.

3. Cover the bowl and place the dough aside in a warm place for around 45 minutes, or until it has at least doubled in size.

4. Line a 20 x 30cm tray with baking parchment and brush with about half of the remaining oil.

5. Tip the proved dough out onto the tray. Gently press down to make a rough rectangle shape, about 15 x 20cm in size (about 1.5cm (1 inch) deep).

6. Press a finger all over the dough (docking the dough) to make little crevices, then insert a grape into each docked spot.

7. Lightly cover with cling film and prove for another 30 minutes.

8. Preheat your oven to 200c (180c fan)/400f/gas mark 6.

9. Brush the remaining olive oil over the surface of the dough, then insert the rosemary sprigs all over the top of the dough. Sprinkle over the remaining salt.

10. Bake for between 20 and 25 minutes, or until the surface has turned an even golden colour.

11. Enjoy!

This is delicious served warm, but would also be fab served at room temperature with some soup.
