Campfire Pizzas

We tried out this recipe on a recent camp and the explorers absolutely loved them. They where easy to make, the was pretty much no washing up and it make it easy to cater for vegetarians.

Ingredients:

• Tin foil
• Cooking oil
• boxes of pizza bread (1 box make enough dough for about 2 people)
• Tomato pizza topping or tomato based pasta sauce
• Grated Cheese
• A selection of toppings

For the topping we had:

• mushrooms
• tomatoes
• pinapple
• ham
• pepperoni

Method:

1. Give each person a sheet of tin foil about 50cm is plenty.
2. pour1-2tsp(s) of cooking oil on the the tin foil and get them to spread it all over the tin foil with there fingers (this also help with stopping dough sticking to their fingers too much).
3. Put a portion of the dough on to the centre of the foil and get the person to start flattening out the dough. it does not have to be a perfect circle. We need find that a thinner base when crispy when it was cooked and thinker base turned out more like bread when cooked
   
4. once the the pizza base is ready spoon on the tomato sauce and spread over the base avoid going right up to the edge of the base.
5. Sprinkle liberally with the grated cheese
6. add the topping of your choice.
7. Now fold the pizza and the tin foil in half like a Cornish Pasty or a Calzone
8. once the pizza is in half carefully peel back the tin foil and press the edges of the pizza together.
9. finally wrap the pizza back up in the tin foil and place on the fire. We had ours about about 6 inch away for the base of the fire and kept feeding the fire.
10. While the pizza are cooking keep turning them over so that the dough get cooked evenly on both sides.
11. once cooked open up the tin foil and enjoy.

Note: The camp we made the pizzas on was so wet we did not take the camera out the tent so recreated the pizzas at home to get the phones.
