Gorgonzola and grape flatbreads

-

effortless!

This interestin­g flavour pairing will wow guests into thinking that these flatbreads are more difficult to make than they really are. Wholemeal flour gives them a lovely nutty flavour. You can bake one whole bread but individual ones creates more of a restaurant-style feel.

1 HOUR + RISING | MAKES 6 | EASY

strong white bread flour 250g, plus extra for dusting

wholemeal bread flour 250g

olive oil 2 tbsp, plus extra for drizzling

fast-action dried yeast 7g sachet

gorgonzola 150g, cut into small pieces

red grapes 200g

rosemary 3 sprigs, torn into smaller sprigs

1 Mix together the bread flours, oil, yeast and 2 tsp of fine sea salt in a bowl. Add 300ml of warm water and bring together into a dough using your hands. Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured worksurfac­e and knead for 8-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

2 Knock the dough back into the bowl, then divide into six balls. Roll out each ball on a lightly floured worksurfac­e into an oval flatbread, about 15cm x 10cm. Transfer the flatbreads to oiled baking sheets, keeping them well spaced apart, then leave to rise for another 30 minutes.

3 Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Poke each flatbread all over with your index finger to make multiple indentatio­ns, then press a few pieces of the cheese, the grapes and a few rosemary sprigs into each of the flatbreads. Drizzle with a little more of the oil and sprinkle with sea salt.

4 Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bread is golden and puffed, and the grapes have softened (you may need to do this in batches). Cool until warm or at room temperatur­e and serve.
