Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Gradually add lukewarm water while stirring to form a soft dough, then knead for 8 minutes until smooth.

  2. 2

    Drizzle in 2 tbsp olive oil, knead again for 2 minutes, cover, and let the dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a baking sheet using 1 tbsp olive oil, and gently stretch the dough out into a roughly 12-inch circle.

  4. 4

    Scatter half the grapes and rosemary over the dough, pressing gently; fold dough in half, then press remaining grapes on top, drizzling any juice and olive oil.

  5. 5

    Bake on the middle rack for 30–35 minutes until golden with a tender crumb. Cool for 15 minutes before slicing, allowing moisture to balance.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?
The fresh wine grapes stand out as the defining ingredient, giving Schiacciata con l'Uva its memorable sweet-savory character and seasonal appeal. Grapes are layered inside and atop the dough, infusing bursts of flavor in every bite.
Q. How should I control oven heat and timing for best results?
Bake the flatbread at 400°F on the middle rack for 30–35 minutes. This temperature helps achieve a crisp crust while ensuring the dough remains tender inside, and prevents grapes from drying out. For the most even results, avoid overbaking: remove once golden and allow a 15-minute cooling for perfect moisture balance.
Q. How can I prevent the bread from becoming soggy or dry?
To avoid soggy spots, press grapes gently so they’re well distributed without crushing, and allow the bread to cool before slicing so moisture settles. Using extra-virgin olive oil and proper folding preserves a soft crumb, while not overbaking keeps the texture pleasing.
