Pizza: Banana Curry

This is a completely different way to make a pizza! The banana curry pizza is a traditional dish in Sweden. So we tried it- and it is delicious! I cannot wait to share this recipe with others!
Here is my tried-and-true pizza dough recipe:
Combine all ingredients in bowl with heavy spoon.     Ingredients:
Mix firmly until a soft, sticky dough ball forms.          2-3 c. all-purpose flour
Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead          1 pkg. active dry yeast
using flour for 6-8 minutes until dough is smooth       1 c. warm water
and elastic. Cover, let rest for 10 minutes.                   1/4 tsp. salt
Roll out dough to size and place on greased                2 tbsp. oil
baking sheet. Bake 425 degrees for 10 minutes 
or until brown.


Directions for Banana Curry Pizza: 

Take out hot dough and spread sauce. Cut bananas into thin slices and place evenly on pie. Sprinkle curry powder over pizza- be generous and let your smell guide you. Grate smoked cheese and mozzarella cheese. Distribution should be 20% smoked cheese and 80% mozzarella. If you use too much smoked cheese, the flavor gets too overpowering. Place pizza in oven and bake at 425 for 10 minutes or until bubbly.

The traditional Swedish pizza includes smoked ham and a non-smoked cheese. Being vegetarian, this was a substitute, with the smoked cheese providing the smokey flavor.
