Dutch Oven Pizza
We all love pizza so let’s eat pizza at the campsite too. This all comes together and cooks rather quickly. The dough is chewy and the whole pizza is scrumptious.
I prefer to make this with homemade dough, and I prefer to use ground Italian sausage over pepperoni.
Dutch Oven Pizza
Ingredients
- 1/2 recipe of Pizza Dough or a box of pizza dough mix
- 1 jar pizza sauce – start with half and then use more if needed
- ½ lb mozzarella cheese
- ½ lb pepperoni and/or Italian sausage browned
- Your choice of veggies – peppers onions, mushrooms, olives, etc
- Dutch oven liner
Instructions
- Start 30 briquettes for a 12 inch oven
- Prepare the pizza dough per mix directions and roll out into a round shape
- Spread the dough across the center of the liner.
- Using the liner, set the pizza down into the Dutch oven. Roll up the edges of the dough as needed to fit the bottom of the Dutch oven.
- Put the lid on the Dutch oven, and then place 8 briquettes under and 22 briquettes on top of the Dutch Oven. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the lid and carefully top the pizza crust with sauce, then meat, then ½ the cheese, the veggies, and the other half of the cheese.
- Bake for another 15 minutes, then check if the cheese and crust are the way you like them. Replace the lid and cook another 5-10 minutes if you would like them more done.
