Campfire Pizza 

Campfire pizza is a delicious and fun variation of traditional pizza that you can make while camping. Here’s a simple recipe for making campfire pizza:

Ingredients:

• Pizza dough (pre-made or homemade)
• Pizza sauce
• Cheese (mozzarella or your preferred type)
• Toppings of your choice (e.g., pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)

Instructions:

• Prepare the Campfire:
  • Build a campfire and let it burn down until you have a good bed of hot coals. You’ll be cooking the pizza over these hot coals.
• Roll Out the Dough:
  • Roll out your pizza dough on a flat surface. You can pre-make the dough at home or purchase pre-made dough for convenience.
• Assemble the Pizza:
  • Spread pizza sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  • Add a generous layer of cheese and your favorite toppings.
• Cooking Over the Campfire:
  • Place the assembled pizza on a grate or a flat, heat-resistant surface over the hot coals. You can use a cast-iron skillet or a grill grate.
  • Cover the pizza with a lid or foil to help melt the cheese and cook the toppings. Cooking time will vary depending on the heat of your campfire, but it typically takes around 10-15 minutes.
• Check and Rotate:
  • Check the pizza occasionally to ensure it’s cooking evenly. You may need to rotate it to cook all sides evenly.
• Enjoy!
  • Once the cheese is melted, and the crust is cooked to your liking, carefully remove the pizza from the fire.

Remember to be cautious when cooking over an open flame, and have the necessary tools to handle hot surfaces. Campfire pizza is a versatile dish, and you can get creative with your toppings to suit your preferences. It’s a great way to enjoy a homemade meal while camping and adds a fun twist to the camping experience.
