Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Schiacciata bursting with grapes (Schiacciata all'uva)

    • FromScratch on November 04, 2023

      This came out very flat and not like the picture. I really think it needs another rise after shaping and adding the grapes, as the shaping knocked all the air out of the dough. It also came out golden brown but very under-done in the middle, but I couldn't figure out how to check for doneness. Next time I'm adding ten minutes.
