Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular bread instead of sourdough?
You can, but sourdough’s tang and chewy texture make this dish. It’s a swap that actually works—unlike some cardboard-like alternatives.
Is the honey necessary, or can I skip it?
Necessary. It balances the saltiness and chili heat. Skip it, and you’ll miss the depth. Trust the contrast.
What if I don’t have radishes?
Try cucumber for crunch, but radishes bring a peppery bite that’s key. Don’t settle for bland—embrace the snap.
Can I make this vegan?
Swap feta for seasoned firm tofu. It works, but load up on lemon and chili to keep it bold. Vegan doesn’t mean timid.
