Place some of the flour on the pastry board, add the sachet of yeast, chopped dried fruit, dried grapes previously soaked in warm water, oil, aleatico and a small glass of alkermes. Knead everything together, adding the flour that the dough will absorb to become smooth and soft.
The dough must be kneaded a little so that it does not harden. Grease a round baking pan with oil, line the bottom with greaseproof paper rising from the edges of the pan.
Also grease the paper with oil and pour in the dough. Before placing in the oven, cover the dough with pine nuts, raisins, two small glasses of alkermes mixed with two tablespoons of oil and spread well over the entire surface.
Sprinkle with caster sugar. Bake in a hot oven.
Allow to bake for 40-50 minutes. Take out of the oven, let cool, and arrange the schiaccia briaca on the plate, leaving the paper where it is baked.

Strategic location for the large amount of hematite and limonite immediately identified by the emperor as soon as he landed on the island as a strategic-military axis.
The beach is named after the islet a few meters from the shore, itself named after Napoleon Bonaparte’s sister who, according to a legend (probably created by a tourism entrepreneur in the 1960s) loved to sunbathe on these rocks.
Designated as a summer residence, Napoleon purchased the property from the Manganaro family in 1814, with the intention of transforming it into a comfortable and refined abode that would have nothing to envy from Parisian residences.
Built in 1724 by Grand Duke Gaston de’ Medici, it was Napoleon’s city residence during his first stay on Elba Island.
It was built as a sign of gratitude in 1606 by José Pons y León of the Dukes of Arcos, Spanish governor of Naples and first governor of the square of Longone (part of the state of principals). In September 1814 Napoleon, accompanied by Pons and Bertrand wanted to visit the sanctuary.
While the Elban economy today is based on tourism, the fact remains that the people of San Piero and the west coast (Pomonte) have also lived and continue to live off their granite and marble
