Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a different type of dough for this recipe?
A: Yes, you can use store-bought naan, pita bread, or even a pre-baked pizza crust as a substitute for the pizza dough. Just adjust the baking time as these options might not require as much time in the oven.
Q: What can I substitute for ricotta cheese?
A: If you don't have ricotta, you can use mascarpone, goat cheese, or even cream cheese blended with a bit of milk to mimic the creamy texture. Adjust the lemon juice and zest as needed to balance the flavor.
Q: How do I properly shave the radishes?
A: To shave radishes, use a mandoline slicer for even, paper-thin slices. If you don't have a mandoline, use a sharp knife and slice as thinly as possible. For added crunch, you can briefly soak the radish slices in ice water before patting them dry.
Q: Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
A: You can prepare the lemon ricotta and chop the herbs in advance. However, it’s best to bake the flatbread and assemble it just before serving to maintain the crisp texture of the crust and the freshness of the toppings.
Q: What’s the best way to store leftovers?
A: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the flatbread in a 350°F (175°C) oven for a few minutes to warm it through and revive the crust's crispness.
Q: Can I customize the toppings?
A: Absolutely! You can add other fresh toppings like arugula, cherry tomatoes, or even thinly sliced cucumbers. For a more savory flavor, try crumbled feta or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Q: What should I serve alongside this flatbread?
A: This flatbread pairs beautifully with a light green salad or a bowl of vegetable soup. It also works well as an appetizer or a part of a brunch spread alongside dishes like quiche or frittata.
