FAQ

• Can I use a different type of pizza dough?You may use any kind of pre-made pizza dough that you like, including gluten-free or whole wheat styles.
• What can I substitute for Nutella?You can use any chocolate or hazelnut spread that you prefer, or even peanut butter, for a different flavor profile.
• Can I use a different fruit instead of bananas?Certainly! Nutella and caramel pair perfectly with strawberries and sliced pears.
• Is there a nut-free option?You can leave out the nuts or replace them with seeds (such as sunflower or pumpkin seeds) if you want a little crunch without the nuts.
• How should I store leftover pizza?Keep any uneaten portions in a container that won’t let air in and in the fridge, and you can eat them within 2 days. To reheat, use an oven, and be sure to serve it right after it comes out.
• Can I make this ahead of time?You can prepare the sliced bananas and chopped nuts in advance; however, the pizza is best enjoyed freshly made.
• What if I don’t have caramel sauce?At home, you can prepare a basic caramel sauce or use one bought in a store. If neither option appeals, you can also use a creamy chocolate sauce or a butterscotch sauce in place of caramel.
