September sweet flatbread, a low white pizza or focaccia with lots of black grapes on top, obviously I couldn’t help but make it with whole wheat flour and white grapes. It’s called the spirit of contradiction. The September sweet flatbread because I cannot define it as pizza or focaccia, it is not savory but not too sweet either with only 3 tablespoons of sugar, September because this is the season of grapes, ripe, abundant, and very sweet.

About Grapes
September is the month that marks the beginning, as every year, of the grape harvest, which has been repeated with the same rituals since times past. This signifies the importance that wine has always had in culture, planting vines, cultivating them, and of course harvesting them. Italy, being a land rich in sunshine, naturally our plantations give us grapes that are equally rich and sugary, and we can do nothing but consume and prepare in the kitchen from sweets to savory dishes, aside from wine of course, right at the time of abundance. Always follow seasonality.
