Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare your wood fire and position a pizza stone directly on the grill grates above the embers. Ensure the flames are moderate to prevent burning. (5 minutes)

02

Step

On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape. Carefully transfer the dough onto the preheated pizza stone. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and slightly crisp. (8-12 minutes)

03

Step

Remove the partially cooked pizza crust from the stone and place it on a flat, clean surface. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the cooked side, leaving a small border for a rustic touch. Generously sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the pepperoni slices.

04

Step

Return the pizza to the pizza stone on the grill. Tent loosely with aluminum foil to trap heat and ensure the cheese melts evenly. Cook until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the pepperoni is slightly crisp. (8-12 minutes)

05

Step

Carefully remove the pizza from the stone and transfer it to a cutting board. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving your campfire masterpiece.

For an enhanced smoky flavor, use hardwood such as oak or mesquite in your fire.
To prevent sticking, lightly dust the pizza stone with cornmeal before placing the dough on it.
Experiment with different toppings such as mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers for a customized pizza experience.
Ensure even heat distribution by rotating the pizza on the stone occasionally.
Monitor the pizza closely to prevent burning, adjusting the foil tent as needed.

    We have to pre-cook the dough a little bit more next time before adding topping.

    The tenting with foil trick is genius! It really helped the cheese melt evenly.

    The pizza stone cracked!! Need to find a high temperature alternative or be more careful

    I was skeptical about making pizza over a campfire, but this recipe made it so easy. The crust was perfectly crispy!

  • Ronny Stiedemann

    It was way easier to burn the bottom of the pizza than I expected. I'll keep more distance to the fire next time
