Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 350 milliliters Warm water
• 60 milliliters Olive oil
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 10 grams Salt
• 200 grams Seedless red grapes
• 80 grams Crumbled bleu cheese
• 60 grams Chopped walnuts
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary leaves
• 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
• 1 tablespoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, warm water, instant yeast, salt, and half of the olive oil. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 2

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.

Step 3

Shape the dough into a ball, lightly oil another bowl, and place the dough inside. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow it to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F). Lightly oil a rectangular baking pan, approximately 9x13 inches.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to the prepared baking pan. Stretch it out gently, pressing it into an even layer. Use your fingertips to make dimples all over the surface.

Step 6

Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top of the dough. Scatter the grapes, crumbled bleu cheese, chopped walnuts, and rosemary evenly across the surface, pressing them gently into the dimples.

Step 7

Sprinkle the coarse sea salt over the top and drizzle with honey for a hint of sweetness.

Step 8

Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the focaccia from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
