Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 Bananas (ripe, sliced)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 teaspoons Chili flakes
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
Cut 1 cup of unsalted butter into small cubes and work it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add 6 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently transfer the dough to the pie dish, trimming any excess and crimping the edges as desired.
In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 sliced bananas, 3 tablespoons of honey, and 0.25 teaspoons of chili flakes for a surprise combination of sweet and savory filling.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust.
In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to create the egg wash.
Brush the edges of the pie crust with the egg wash for a golden, glossy finish.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your Funny Pie and watch your guests’ delight and surprise at its unique mixture of flavors!
