Tips to Make a Campfire Pizza in Outdoor Camping

When you're camping, there's nothing like a good pizza. It's quick, easy, and delicious. And since you can make it right on the campfire, it's fun too!

Campfire pizza is one of the easiest, most delicious ways to cook pizza. It is more of an outdoor cooking activity than just making a pizza. It involves gathering around the campfire and enjoying the evening with family and friends. The kids will love this campfire-cooked pizza because it tastes great, and they get to help make it.

The best part about campfire pizza is that it doesn't require any special equipment. All you need is a cast-iron skillet and some dough (you can buy it fresh or make your own).

What do you need?

Dutch oven:

A cast-iron saucepan with a lid is required for preparing gourmet pizza over an open fire.

Toppings:

When preparing the group meal, ask pals what their favorite pizza toppings are, and then take it a step further. Gourmet cheese (goat or Asiago) with caramelized onions, grilled chicken, wild mushrooms, arugula, fresh corn, and the works–the fresher the ingredients, the better.

The Dough:

Make the dough with three simple materials at home or camp: flour, water, and yeast. Make a rolling pin out of your water bottle.

Directions:

When the coals are glowing:

  • Warm your dutch oven for 20 to 30 minutes before using.
  • Use high-heat oil to grease your oven.
  • In the dutch oven, place your pizza.
  • Cover with hot coals and close the lid.
  • Open the lid carefully every five minutes to check.
  • It's ready to eat when the top is well browned.

Tips to make a campfire pizza in outdoor camping

Pizza cooked in a campfire has a wonderful taste and texture that's impossible to replicate at home. It's also a fun way to spend time with the kids while they wait for their meal!

Here are some tips on making the best pizza possible in your campfire:

Use fresh dough and high-quality toppings.

The homemade dough will have more flavor than anything you can buy at the store, and it's much fresher too. Plus, you control what goes into the sauce and cheese — no preservatives or other additives here! And don't forget about your favorite toppings; they'll add even more flavor to your pizza.

Keep things simple when crafting your toppings.

Pile on as many ingredients as you want, but try not to go overboard with too many different flavors — for example, use basil instead of oregano or thyme because these two herbs complement each other well when paired with tomato sauce and cheese; they won't clash at all!

Use a good crust.

A thick crust will hold up better when cooked over an open flame. Thin crusts will burn before they are cooked through. You can use store-bought dough or make your dough at home. I like using homemade dough because it tastes better than store-bought, but if you don’t want to mess with making your dough then just use whatever you have on hand.

Make sure you have enough toppings for everyone!

 It’s always fun when everyone gets involved in making their pizzas, so make sure that each person has enough toppings for their pizza so they can add whatever they want! Don’t forget about dessert.

Plan ahead

Before leaving for the campground, make sure everyone has the right gear and clothing. Pack snacks and other foods that will last more than one meal, such as granola bars or cereal bars. If you'll be camping in a remote area, bring along extra water (at least two liters per person). Make sure each camper has his or her flashlight and spare batteries just in case there's no electricity at your site.

Bring entertainment

Bring books and games for rainy days when it's too wet or cold to go outside — or bring cards so you can play card games like Go Fish or Old Maid with your kids. You can also bring along a few board games like Monopoly Jr., Chutes & Ladders for campfire nights when it's not raining but still too chilly to play outside.

Remember to pack sunscreen!

Even if it's cloudy or cool during the day, UV rays from the sun can still cause sunburns on your kids' delicate skin — even if they're bundled up in jeans and sweatshirts while playing.

Use plastic plates and utensils if possible — they won't melt in the fire like real dishes or glasses might.

Use store-bought dough instead of making your dough from scratch if you're short on time or just want something quick and easy (which is fine!).

Final Words:

If you've been camping lately and have used a campfire to cook, then you should have experienced this mini-masterpiece called campfire pizza. It's a simple concept that tastes great, and the smell of it cooking over a campfire is unforgettable. The taste of the pizza is another thing entirely though, as most campers know that it simply won't taste like the pizza you make at home.
