  1. First, devote yourself to the preparation of the leavening. In a bowl, sift the Manitoba flour and add a teaspoon of brown sugar, 2 g of dry yeast and mix everything with 100 ml of water until you get a sticky and non-workable batter. Cover the dough with cling film and let it rise slowly for about an hour or until the leaven has taken on a very soft and voluminous aspect.

  The alternatives ok
  In this recipe we suggest the use of dry brewer's yeast. Alternatively, it is possible to use 6 g of fresh brewer's yeast (dissolved in water) or mother yeast in doses equal to 30% of the total weight of the flour.

  2. Meanwhile, shell the grapes and wash them thoroughly.
  3. When the leavening is swollen and soft, proceed with the preparation of the main dough. In a bowl, sift the Manitoba flour, add 60 g of whole cane sugar, the oil, the water, the salt and the leavening. vigorously with your hands until you get a smooth and velvety dough. Divide the dough into two equal balls and let it rest for 10 minutes: in this way, the dough relaxes and it will be easier to roll it out in the next step.

  The semi-integral version
  It is possible to make this focaccia in the semi-wholemeal version: instead of using 300 g of Manitoba flour (during the preparation of the main dough), it is possible to use 150 g of wholemeal flour and 150 g of Manitoba flour or 00 flour. the exclusive use of wholemeal flour to avoid weighing down the dough.

  4. Meanwhile, line a 22cm-side square pan with parchment paper.
  5. Pour a drop of oil on the parchment paper, then spread a part of the dough with your hands, taking care to cover the entire surface. Stuff with the strawberry grapes and sprinkle with 20 g of whole cane sugar.
  6. Roll out the other part of the dough with your hands. Arrange the square of dough thus obtained on top of the filling, taking care to press along the edges to make the dough adhere.
  7. Brush the surface with oil and finish with brown sugar.
  8. Place the pan with the focaccia in a warm and humid environment. Leave to rise for a couple of hours or until the focaccia has doubled its volume.

  Did you know that
  The dough rises easily in a warm and humid environment. To do this, it is advisable to preheat the oven to 180 ° C for 2 minutes and then turn it off. The dough is thus left to rise in this warm, slightly humid environment, protected from drafts.

  9. Preheat the oven to 220 ° C (static). Put the sweet focaccia in the oven and cook for 15 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 180 ° C and continue for another 20 minutes.
  10. Remove the focaccia from the oven, allow to cool and serve.
  11. The focaccia can be kept in the fridge for 2-3 days. For longer storage, deep freezing is recommended.
