Something Good Recipes: Grape Bread

Bread that looks like a bunch of grapes

This bread doesn't taste like grapes--it just looks like a bunch of grapes. Grape bread gets a 6 for 6 "something good" rating. It's fun to pick the little grapes and eat them. I've made it a number of times, but it wasn't until today that I managed a picture before all the little hands started reaching for a snack.

Grape Bread
1 loaf of bread dough
Olive oil

Mix and knead the dough, let it raise for 1 hour, and punch it down.
Preheat the oven to 400*.
Pinch off small pieces of bread and shape them into balls by pulling the dough down and pinching it on the bottom. You can add a rectangular piece for the vine if you want.
As you make the balls, place them on a greased cookie sheet in a triangular pattern to look like a bunch of grapes. Add a few balls on top of the bunch to give more depth.
Brush the bunch of grapes with oil.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tops of the grapes are lightly browned.
Remove grapes to a cooling rack and brush lightly with oil.
Serve plain or with grape jelly.

Notes: I use my basic bread recipe for grape bread, but any recipe would work, even thawed frozen dough.
