Sweet September Flatbread, a thin white pizza or focaccia topped with plenty of black grapes. Obviously, I couldn’t resist making it with whole wheat flour and white grapes. It’s called a spirit of contradiction. The sweet September flatbread because I can’t define it as pizza or focaccia, it isn’t savory but not overly sweet with only 3 tablespoons of sugar, September because this is the time of grapes, ripe, plentiful, and very sweet.

About Grapes
September is the month that marks the beginning of the grape harvest, repeating the same rituals as in times gone by. This signifies the importance that wine has always held in our culture, planting vines, cultivating them, and of course, harvesting them. Italy, being a land rich in sunshine, naturally provides us with grapes that are equally rich and sugary. We can’t help but consume and prepare them in the kitchen, from sweets to savory dishes, aside from wine, of course, especially during the time of abundance. We always follow seasonality.
