Topping Ingredients: Sugar ½ cup (100 g); Black grapes 1.8 lbs (800 g) - (or Concord grapes); Extra virgin olive oil 8 spoonfuls

For the Bread Dough: Fresh brewer's yeast 0.4 oz (12 g); Malt 1 tsp; Water 1 ¼ cup (300 ml); Type 0 flour 4 cups (500 g)

Preparation

How to prepare Grape Flatbread

To make the grape flatbread, start by preparing the bread dough: dissolve the yeast in a little lukewarm water 1 (taken from the total amount of water required for the recipe) and add a teaspoon of malt (or sugar or honey) 2, then mix everything and let it rest for a few minutes. Put the sifted flour in a stand mixer, add the yeast, water, and malt mixture 3.

and start kneading with the hook, slowly adding the remaining water 4. When you have obtained a smooth and soft consistency, typical of bread dough, transfer the mixture onto a floured board and briefly knead it by hand 5. Form a ball and place it in a bowl, covered with plastic wrap (or a clean and damp cloth), then let it rise for a couple of hours in the oven, turned off and closed but with the light on: the dough should double in volume 6.

When the bread dough is ready, transfer it back to the stand mixer and knead it with 50 grams of sugar and 4 tablespoons of oil, for another 5 minutes 7 (if you prefer, you can perform the same operation manually, spreading the dough on a floured board and kneading it by hand). Take the grapes, wash them under cold running water 8 and detach all the grapes 9.

Now divide the bread dough into two parts and roll them out both with the help of a rolling pin, until you obtain a thickness of 0.39 inches 10. Oil a baking tray with dimensions of 15.75 x 11.81 inches 11, using a brush 12.

then lay a dough sheet and entirely cover its surface with half of the total amount of grapes 13, a tablespoon of sugar 14, and some extra virgin olive oil 15.

At this point, cover everything with the second sheet of dough 16, on which you will place the remaining grapes, then sprinkle with sugar 17 and drizzle the surface of the flatbread with the remaining olive oil. Bake the flatbread for 50-60 minutes in a preheated oven at 356°F 18; when it is ready, let it cool and serve it cut into pieces.

Storage

We recommend eating the grape flatbread within the same day; if you wish, you can store it for a couple of days at most, in an airtight container and kept in the refrigerator.

Advice

Indulgent variation: cut all the grapes in half and remove the seeds from each one. It will take almost forever, but those who eat it will be grateful to you for life: if nothing else, you'll earn some credits :)
As for the filling, I'm undecided whether I prefer the version with must (finger-licking good) or the savory one, with a sprinkle of rosemary and filled with cheese: what do you think?
