The following recipe and photos are
by Eileen Troemel of Janesville, Wisconsin (near Madison). Check
out Eileen's very interesting and informative article on
Dutch Oven Camp Cooking.
How about surprising your family with pizza while camping? I used a pre-made pizza crust that comes in a tube. When going camping, that is a lot easier than taking flour and the other ingredients to make pizza dough. Remember, any type of pizza that you can make at home, you can make in a Dutch Oven!

Preparation:
(1)
Prepare your fire using either charcoal coals or wood. Eileen is using the
charcoal coal method for her Dutch Oven Camp Cooking. Check out Eileen's
article on
Dutch Oven Camp Cooking for information
and instructions on Dutch Oven cooking.
Since the
tube of pizza dough was meant to be for a rectangular pizza, I had to patch it
and spread it around the pan. If you have two Dutch
Ovens, you can make two pizzas at once.
Add sliced onions and sliced pepperoni.
If you would like to add additional
toppings, now is the time to do it.
(8) Place the Dutch
Oven with the prepared pizza on the hot coals.
(9) Place the lid on
the Dutch Oven and place hot coals on the lid to start the baking
process (this allows the dough to bake and the toppings to cook
through). Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until done.
(10) After the pizza
has cooked approximately 10 minutes and the dough is baked, remove
the lid.
(11) Sprinkle the
mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese over the top of the hot pizza.
(12) Place lid back on the Dutch
Oven and let the cheese melt. The
more hot coals placed on the lid, the faster the cheese will melt.
(2) Fire pit with coal - using backyard fire pit to cook on.
(3) Coals being shifted around so more of them will get hot
enough to cook with.
(4) Pour vegetable oil in the cold Dutch Oven,
spreading it around the bottom and sides of the Dutch Oven.
(5) Take the pizza dough out of the tube and split it
in half. Spread half of the dough in the bottom of the Dutch Oven.
(6) Spread the tomato sauce over the pizza dough and
sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
(7) Pizza ready to put over the hot coals.
(13) When cheese is melted, remove lid and then
remove the Dutch Oven from the coals.
Your pizza is now done. Serve to your family
and enjoy!
