Roasted Grape Focaccia! This incredibly easy bread with roasted grapes, caramelized onions and rosemary is sweet and savory in all the best ways! A great recipe to start with when learning to bake with yeast.

I joined a Facebook group a few weeks ago called the 12 Loaf Baking Challenge. I can’t remember how in the world I came across it {maybe clicked through from a Pinterest find?}, but I thought it was the coolest thing. And by cool I mean super baker-nerdy. But whatevs.
January’s assignment was to share a bread recipe that incorporates fruit. So, I found a recipe I wanted to try and made it. And it was really, really good. But I never got around to sharing it, and now February has begun and there’s a new theme to work on {Seeds!}.

But seriously, it would be just plain mean not to share this recipe, because it is phenomenal.
I never would have guessed that grapes are so delicious roasted. Or that they pair so well with caramelized onions and rosemary. Or that I could eat focaccia for 4 days in a row and not get sick of it. But they do. And I did.

This bread is hearty, more like a thick Sicilian pizza due to the toppings. It is also one of the quickest, easiest breads I’ve ever made. I’ve made it a bunch of times, changing out the herbs and toppings to suit my tastes or what I have on hand. It is extremely forgiving, and I’ve let it rise overnight or whipped it up quickly within a few hours of serving. In short, it is practically foolproof.

I can’t wait to get my hands on some more yeasty doughs. And who knows, maybe I’ll actually get around to sharing it next time! {Both the recipe AND the finished product, that is!}

This sounds awesome. Since I'm new to bread making I might be up for this challenge!

@Laurasmess – Thanks so much! Brie is one of my absolute favorite goodies and I agree that some wine and cheese would take this over the top… in a good way! 🙂

Oh.My.Gosh. That looks so, so delicious! I love foccacia and I've made it a few times but I've never thought to add grapes. It sounds perfect to have with some soft brie and a glass of wine to further accentuate the grape flavour. Yum!

Jess – That is such a fun way to describe it! 🙂 It's a strange pairing that works so very well, and as I mentioned, it's TOO easy not to make! You should definitely join the group, would love to see what you come up with!

Wow! I never thought to use grapes in a focaccia recipe, but this looks delectable! I could imagine it's like wrapping wine and crusy bread into one delicious mouthful 😀 Will definitely check out that FB group too, it sounds like so much fun!
