  4. Note: If using bananas, soak them in lemon juice first to keep them from browning.
  5. Glaze

Notes

You can use a regular pizza pan for a single recipe.

Carol Ceraso prefers to have more glaze and usually mixes 1 1/2 recipes of the glaze for a single serving.

For a double recipe, use a jelly roll pan and triple the glaze recipe.
