An important component of getting children involved in the outdoor cooking process is making it fun. We learned this one at Cub Scout Day Camp a few years back, and we've found it to be a really fun and easy before dinner snack around the campfire even now that the boys are older.
What You'll Need
The ingredients and tools for this one are simple:
- A pie iron (or one for each kid if you can)
- A tube of ready-made biscuit dough (the smaller variety, not "Grands")
- Ragu Pizza Quick or similar pizza sauce
- Shredded mozzarella
- Your favorite toppings
- A spoon
- Cooking spray
You'll want to have a good fire going for a while before you start, so that you have a decent bed of coals to cook on. If you can't have a campfire where you are, this works on charcoal briquettes as well.
Step 1. Spray the inside of your pie iron with cooking spray. Open your tube of biscuit dough and flatten 1 of the biscuits, then put it in the pie iron and close.
Step 2. Place your pie iron in the fire on the hot coals. Let cook just a couple of minutes, then turn your pizza crust over to cook the other side. It's usually best to check for donness frequently, because temps on a wood fire can be pretty hot. You'll also find that the first pizza takes longer than later ones, so be careful not to burn your second helping.
Step 3. Add sauce, cheese, and toppings and you're done. Enjoy!
