❓ Q & A
Q1: Can I substitute burrata?
Yes, fresh mozzarella or ricotta salata work, but burrata is creamier and more indulgent.
Q2: How spicy is the hot honey?
Adjust crushed red pepper flakes to your preferred heat level; start mild if unsure.
Q3: Can I use store-bought pita chips?
Absolutely! Homemade is fresher, but store-bought saves time.
Q4: How to store leftovers?
Keep burrata refrigerated (consume within 1 day). Store pita chips in airtight container.
Q5: Can I add other dippers?
Yes! Try sliced cucumbers, carrot sticks, or artisan bread slices.
