Swedish Pizza image

It's very much like an Italian pizza, but lighter and more delicate. It's usually made on a puff-pastry dough, though some recipes allow for the use of bread-dough. One warning is that the pizza is very light, specially if you use a puff-pastry dough, this means that you shouldn't count on people getting very filled with it. This recipe is for one pie that will serve four people, but you may want to double it and make two. It's that good. Popular pizza toppings in Sweeden include bananas and curry (or the Tropicana - curry, bananas, ham, and mushrooms), or artichoke hearts and roast beef,fried eggs and prawns. The Venus: Tabasco, ground beef, chili, garlic and onion. Africana: curry, bananas, pineapple. Cozze: Mozzarella, mussels, giant shrimp, garlic and parsley. Viking Pizza: prawns, curry powder, chilli, peanuts, pineapple and bearnaise sauce. Swedish pizzas employ a fascinating range of food combinations and that, usually, these food combinations are surprising delicious. The Fromage Blanc needs to chill for 12 hours.
