Instructions

For this recipe we'll need a fire pit that has a cooking grate. Allow the fire to burn down until you have a nice bed of hot coals.
Medium, even heat will allow the crust and toppings to cook and not burn.
Give each family member a "plate" of heavy duty tinfoil. Spray with cooking oil and roll out your pizza dough. For this recipe we used pizza crust/dough that rolled out kind of like those dinner rolls in a can. Making it extra easy!
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each crust, leaving a small boarder around the edges.
Top with cheese and your favorite toppings.
Once the coals are at the right heat, place the tin foil "plates" over the campfire grates or on a cast iron skillet with lid.
Cook over hot coals for about 8-15 minutes, depending on the heat source, until the cheese is melted and the crust is crisp.
Remove carefully using heat-resistant gloves and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

*Note- Since we have a limited amount of space on the campfire grate, you may need to cook these pizzas in batches. For us, we start with the kids pizza and then move on to the adults.

*Note- Having a heat safe lid is what makes the campfire pizza recipe work so well as it acts as an oven. We've done this recipe over a cast iron skillet using a lid, and simply using heavy duty tin foil with the lid from our charcoal grill. Just be sure that the lid you use is heat safe and always use heat safe gloves.
