WHAT YOU’LL DO TO MAKE A DUTCH OVEN PIZZA

STEP 1: Ask an adult to start a campfire and allow it to burn down until there are plenty of hot coals.

STEP 2: Prepare the pizza dough. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2¼ cups of pizza dough mix and 2/3 cup of water until a soft dough forms.

STEP 3: Place the dough onto a lightly floured cutting board or mat. Gently press and fold the dough for about two minutes. Then shape the dough into your desired pizza crust size. Lightly flour the round foil pan and place the crust inside.

TIP: To make multiple crusts at once, separate each dough layer with a foil pan while cooking inside the Dutch oven.

STEP 4: Have an adult place the Dutch oven over the hot coals and carefully place the foil pan with the crust inside the oven. Put the lid back on and add hot coals to the top of the lid. Prebake the crust for about 8 minutes.

STEP 5: Have an adult carefully remove the foil pan from the Dutch oven using heat-resistant gloves. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the crust with a spoon, then add your favorite toppings and shredded cheese.

STEP 6: Have an adult place the foil pan with the pizza back into the Dutch oven. Replace the lid and continue cooking for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Step 7: Have an adult carefully remove the pizza from the Dutch oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 8: Serve your campfire Dutch-oven pizza warm and enjoy!
