We love recipes like Hot Honey Mozzarella Sourdough Bread that feel special but don’t require a lot of fuss — especially ones that bring a little heat and a lot of flavor to your kitchen. This version of Hot Honey Asiago Sourdough Bread started with a favorite from Country Roads Sourdough, and was tailored by Sandy’s cousin, Heather, who lightened the chili heat and switched up the cheese a bit from the original recipe. It’s the perfect cozy bread to share this season, and we couldn’t wait to pass it along to you!
