It is good to know that I have passed some of my good tast in food to my sons…

One example of that is one of the Pires Family’s most well kept traditional dishes: The Banana and Chocolate Pizza. Okay… so maybe it’s not such an old tradition… but it is still delicious!!! And there is this pizzeria in Sao Paulo that put it in the menu after we went there every week and asked them to make it specially for us… so yayyyy for chocolate and banana pizza!!

Hey… don’t knock it til you tried it!!!!

And if you  want to give it a go… here goes the recipe:

For the dough:

Ingredients:

• Self Raising Flour (
• Water
• MAple Sirup

Toppings:

• Bananas
• Melted Chocolate (or nutella or chocolate spread)
• If you feel adventurous and like to mix savoury with sweet like I do sometimes, add some strong cheese, like catupiry or Cheddar

How to do it:

Mix the Water and the Flour in a bowl (I’m not giving you exact amounts because seriously… I don’t know… I jst mix them til it feels right) and then add a splash of Maple sirup and let it rest for 5 minutes and open the dough in a pizza pan and put it in a pre-heated oven at 200C for 10 minutes or until the base feels like it has baked through.

Now comes the fun bit!!!

Spread the Chocolate spread and add the bananas on top. If you are going to be adventurous, add the cheese on top as well and put it in the oven again for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

Voila!!  Instant deliciousness in pizza form!!!

Go on!!! give it a try and let me know what you think of it!!!! I guarantee the kiddos will love it!

So… there it goes… there’s my secret…. how about you???? what is your favorite invented recipe???
