Dutch Oven Pizza Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 can Pillsbury pizza crust
  • 1/4 cup Primo pizza sauce
  • 200 g Pepperoni, sliced
  • 1 cup Mozzarella shredded cheese
Campfire Dutch Oven Pizza Dough

Directions:

  1. Open the pizza dough and press it into the bottom of the dutch oven. Tip: spray the interior of the oven with non stick spray or line with parchment paper to help prevent sticking. A well seasoned cast iron oven will not need this but it still helps.

2. Spread pizza sauce on the dough.

3. Sprinkle generous amounts of Mozzarella cheese over the dough.

4. Top with pepperoni slices and cover with the dutch oven lid.

5. Cook over a low fire for 30-40 minutes or until the dough is baked and the cheese is melty. Tip: rotate the dutch oven often and move from open flame. Alternatively this can be baked in a trailer oven or over a BBQ grill.

Tips for cooking with cast iron:

  • When cooking with cast iron, be sure to season the surface first.
  • Always use gloves or oven mitts while cooking as the surface of the iron will be hot.
  • Cook the recipe over an open fire using hot coals, not open flames.  A fire that is too hot will burn the outside of your recipe and not cook the inside.
  • Be sure to clean the cast iron with a rough vegetable scrubber, rinse and dry thoroughly before storing.

I like to sprinkle dried oregano overtop of the pizza just as it comes off of the campfire. Slice it up and serve to your hungry campers!
