Description
I’m very embarrassed to admit this, BUT I worked at a Pizza restaurant while I was in culinary school. Pizza was not what I had imagined for myself, as a chef. However, one good thing came out of the pizza place! This recipe was derived from a pizza we made there, and it was rally quite good.

Instructions
- Set Smoker to “smoke” with the lid open for about 5 minutes.
- Turn the hear to (450F) with the pizza stone inside.
- While the smoker is preheating, roll out your dough to about 10 inches and place on a Corn mal covered cutting board. Poke several times with a fork.
- Transfer the pizza crust to the Pizza stone by sliding it along the corn meal. Cook for about 8-10 min until your crust is golden.
- While you cut cools, slice your bananas very thin, in a diagonal pattern to make ovals.
- After your pizza is *mostly* cool, cover it in the Vanilla bean frosting, and arrange the banana slices.
- Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the bananas and use a butane torch to brulee ( or caramelize) the sugar.
