Camp Fire Pizza Recipe


Ever been out camping and had a craving for pizza? Well you can have it. Of course it takes some planning before you leave or a quick trip to the store. You will need dough. Some groceries have pre-made pizza dough like Publix which works well 0r pizza dough in the refrigerated section. A cast iron skillet is essential and really is essential for all campfire cooking. Coat the bottom of the pan with vegetable oil. After rolling the dough ( a plastic water bottle works in a pinch) spread on the bottom of the pan.
I used thinly sliced tomatoes rather than sauce as the base. Then add the toppings of your choice and cover. If you do not have a cover, tin foil works too. Place over campfire grate at least 6" over hot coals. This is not an exact science so check your crust often. Ours took about 45 minutes and it was great! Happy Camping.
Ingredients for this pie:
pizza dough
4 small tomatoes
2 cups mozzarella cheese
turkey pepperoni
thinly sliced onion
garlic powder
pinch of red pepper
fresh basil leaves
