Focaccia is mainly known as a savoury delicatesse, but wait till you try this sweet focaccia baked in your pizza oven... :
Work the dough ingredients as for the pizza. Arrange the grapes in a shallow roasting pan. Place the pan in the oven and roast, rotating once, until the grapes begin to hiss and wrinkle. Remove the pan from the oven. Hand stretch the dough ball to a size of about 20 X 35 cm. Dimple the freshly stretched dough deeply using your fingertips. Drizzle the olive oil in center of the stretched dough, and use your hand to spread the oil evenly. Combine the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle half of the mixture evenly over the dough. Spread the ricotta over the dough, followed by the braised grapes, remaining cinnamon sugar, and crumbled blue cheese. Place the focaccia in a tray, place in the preheated Piccolo and until golden brown. Remove the focaccia when the top and bottom are both evenly browned. Let it cool down until luke warm before cutting it. This Tuscan sweet focaccia unites braised grapes and blue cheese, a marriage of sweet tang and a savory creaminess. Yummy with a cheese platter! |
