Campfire Pizza

This is similar to making a BBQ pizza...just over a campfire. You definitely need to be using a fire pit with a grill to rest your pizza pan on. We tried this last summer with a well loved jelly roll pan that we didn't mind getting blackened from the fire.What you need:

Jelly roll pan
Foil
toothpicks or broken down bamboo skewers
Something to roll your pizza dough (rolling pin, or other improvisational cylinder)
Cutting board is nice to have
1 whole wheat pizza dough
3-6 TBSP BBQ sauce (commercial or homemade)
sliced button mushrooms
sliced onions
analog pepperoni
daiya 'mozzarella' cheese
...or any other combination of your favorite pizza toppings
Instructions:

Assemble your pizza:
1. Take your pizza dough out of the bag and let rest in a bowl, covered with a towel, for an hour or two to give it a chance to rise.
2. Once risen, or after skipping step one, roll or stretch out your pizza dough (wine bottle anyone?) and transfer onto your pan
3. Pre-bake over the fire for a few minutes
4. Spread BBQ sauce on crust and spread the rest of your ingredients evenly over top.

Cooking:

1. Insert several toothpicks around the edges of your dough to create foil tent. You will want a few inches clearance between the pie and the foil. Wrap the foil over the toothpicks and down the sides. You are essential creating a little mini oven for the pizza to cook in.
2. Bake for approximately 30 minutes until faux-cheese is melty and the dough is cooked through.
3. Remove foil carefully to prevent burning.
4. Enjoy!
