Pie Iron Homemade Campfire Pizzas
There are several ways to make campfire pizzas with your pie irons and I’ve gathered up three of the most popular methods. The first pie iron recipe is my favorite! These pie iron pizzas are made using store-bought pizza dough, pizza sauce and toppings. It gives the best flavor in my opinion!
Pie Iron Pizza Ingredients
You’ll need the following ingredients to make these pie iron pizzas:
- store-bought pizza crust dough
- pizza sauce
- mozzarella cheese
- pepperoni or your favorite pizza toppings
- olive oil spray
- pizza cutter
Pie Iron Pizza Recipe Instructions
Begin by rolling out the pizza dough on a cutting board. Slice the dough in 8 even, rectangles or squares (to fit inside your pie iron).
Each set of two pieces will make one pie iron pizza. Add pizza sauce to one side of each pie iron pizza set.
Top each sauced dough piece with cheese, pepperoni and whatever other toppings you love.
Make sure you let the kids make their own because that is half the fun!
Next, place the opposite piece of dough over the top and use your fingers to press the edges shut and form a seal so the contents don’t leak out while cooking.
Now, grease the pie iron (both sides) really well with oil. You don’t want the dough to stick so be generous with the oil! Place the dough pie iron pizza inside the pie iron and latch it shut.
Cook your pie iron pizzas for approximately 3-5 minutes on each side.
Check your pie iron pizzas for doneness and cook longer if necessary, until the dough is cooked through.
Slice in half, diagonally and serve. They will be hot so be careful!
