Dessert - Flat Peasant Cake with Grapes & Red Wine

Ingredients

  • Bunch of red grapes
  • 600 g flour
  • 1 cube or sachet of yeast
  • 2 glasses warm water
  • 5 tbsp sugar
  • half glass of red wine
  • olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl place the yeast with a teaspoon sugar, a pinch of salt and 2 tbsp olive oil. Mix together & wait for 3 mins. Add sifted flour, mix together until you form a ball of dough. This doesn't need to be kneaded too much.

Cut a cross on the top of the dough ball & place the dough in a warm place for 2 hours. You can also use the oven, obviously heat the oven, then turn off and this creates the 'warm place' .

Remove the grapes from the stalk, wash and place in a bowl . For half of the grapes, leave as is, the other half, mix with the sugar and red wine & leave to marinate for the 2 hours while the dough is rising.

Take a cookie tray , place grease proof oven paper . Take half the dough and with a rolling pin roll out until it is about 1.5cms thick. Place 1/2 of the grapes ( without the wine) evenly onto the dough, pressing slightly into the mixture. Take the other half of the dough, rolling this in the same way and then cver the gapes/dough , place the marinated grapes on top.

Bake in a preheated oven (150°C) for about 1hour.
