For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the bread cubes instead of baking them. The smoky char adds a delightful complexity. Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of olives or cheeses. Castelvetrano olives and ricotta salata are excellent Sicilian additions. If you don't have teardrop tomatoes, cherry or grape tomatoes work just as well. Cut them in half or quarters depending on their size.
