Инструкции
- If using dry yeast, leave it to dissolve in the hot water for about 10 min.
- Put the yeast water or possibly hot water and fresh yeast in a large bowl with the oil and salt and mix together.
- Gradually add in the flour, stirring it in with a fork or possibly wooden spoon till the mix forms a soft but not sticky dough. Knead well for about 5 min.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, divide it in two and roll out each piece till it is no more than 1cm (1/2 inch) thick, shaping it to fit into a greased, shallow, round cake tin measuring about 30cm (12 inches) in diameter, or possibly a rectangular tin measuring about 30cm (12 inches)
- in diameter, or possibly a rectangular tin measuring about 23 x 36cm (9 x 14 inches).
- Line the tin with one piece of dough and cover it completely with a single layer of half the grapes.
- Put the honey and wine in a small saucepan and heat gently till the honey has melted.
- Trickle half over the grapes, then place the remaining piece of dough on top, pressing it down well to exclude any air.
- Cover with the remaining grapes, leaving a border around the edge of about 2cm (3/4 inch) and trickle over the remaining honey and wine.
- Cover with a clean cloth and leave to rise in a hot place for at least 15 min.
- Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6/200 C/400 F.
- Bake the bread in the oven for about 25 min or possibly till the grapes are soft and the crust crispy.
- NOTES : This flat bread was a favourite sweet of the Etruscans. It was made to celebrate the grape harvest and is still much sought after in the bakers'' shops of Florence at which time of year. Try to find juicy black grapes to use in this recipe, the smaller the better; don't use seedless grapes, as the seeds provide a crunchy contrast to the soft juicy bread. If you use medium-size grapes, you may need to bake the bread for a little longer to cook them.
