Pie Iron Pizzas
Make delicious pie iron pizzas over a campfire with your favorite fillings—easy, fun, and customizable for the ultimate outdoor cooking experience.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 Package canned biscuits 10-count, or use homemade dough if preferred
- oil for greasing the pie iron
- 1/3 Cup pizza sauce
Optional Toppings:
- cheese shredded
- pepperoni sliced
- black olives sliced
- and anything else you like!
Instructions
- Prepare your campfire.
- Divide the biscuit dough into 8 pieces and shape each piece into a 4 ½ square.
- Grease your pie iron and add one dough square to the bottom.
- Add pizza sauce and your preferred toppings. Add another dough square on top.
- Lock the pie iron and cook over the campfire flames or embers, flipping often for an even heat. Check after 2 or 3 minutes. Once the dough is cooked and golden brown, the pizza pocket is done.
- Remove from the fire, unlock the pie iron and remove the pizza pocket.
- Repeat with the remaining dough squares and toppings to make the rest of the pizza pockets. Either let the pie iron cool between pizza pockets or be very careful not to burn yourself!
Notes
Grease the pie iron: Lightly oiling the inside of your pie iron with olive oil or similar is recommended. You don't want your pizza pocket to stick to the plates!
Be careful: Take care when cooking over an open flame. Also, take care not to burn yourself on the pie iron when refilling it between pizza pockets. If this is a concern, invest in several pie irons.
Shaping the pizza dough: You need to make squares that are slightly larger than your pie iron, as it has to fill the complete concave shape on either side.
Check for doneness: The dough needs to cook and the filling just needs to warm up, so a few minutes is likely all you need, although the exact timing depends on the heat of your campfire and whether you're burying the pie iron in campfire embers or holding it over the flames.
Even cooking: Rotate the pie iron or at least flip it often during cooking, so your pizza cooks evenly.
