Red Grape Focaccia
- 1 medium potato
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups milk
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 ounce fresh yeast
- 1 bunch seedless red grapes, cut in half if very large
- 1/4 cup coarse sugar
- On the day or the night before, cut up 1 potato into quarters and boil it with its skin on until fork tender.
- Chill until ready to use, if making the night before.
- Warm together the potato and milk.
- Meanwhile, place the flour, salt, olive oil, and yeast in a mixing bowl with a dough hook making sure the yeast isn't touching the salt.
- Pour in the warmed milk and potato and mix on low for 6 minutes.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit 1 hour or until double in bulk.
- Turn the mixer on to punch down the dough, then turn it out onto a flour work surface.
- Roll the dough into a flat rectangular sheet.
- Grease a sheet pan well with olive oil and transfer the dough to that pan.
- Continue to roll the dough into the corners of the pan to fit it exactly.
- Prick the dough all over then rub the surface with more olive oil.
- Dot the surface with grapes in even rows.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until it reaches the top of the sheet pan.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Sprinkle with coarse sugar and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool in pan only a few minutes, then slide it out of the pan (steam gets trapped under the dough and can get soggy if you leave it in the pan too long).
- Cut into rectangular pieces and serve.
