Prep: 5 min
Cook: 8 min
Serves: 3
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- •1 Cooking spray
- •1 roll (14 oz | 400 g) refrigerated pizza dough
- •6 tablespoons pizza sauce
- •24 small slices pepperoni
- •¾ cup shredded pizza mozzarella
Equipment
- • Cast iron pie cooker
Instructions
- 1Prepare a campfire. Spray the inside (top and bottom) of the pie iron well with cooking spray.
- 2Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 3 times the length of the pie iron and twice the width. Slice it into 3 even rectangles.
- 3Lay one half of the pie iron on a flat surface and place one piece of dough into it so that half of it fits snugly about half of it is hanging out.
- 4Top the dough in the cooker with 2 tablespoons pizza sauce, 8 slices pepperoni, and ¼ cup cheese. Fold the excess dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal it. Place the top half of the pie iron on top and close it. Trim away any excess dough sticking out.
- 5Cook over the fire, flipping once, until the pizza dough is golden brown and cooked through, and the cheese is fully melted, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- 6Remove the pizza pocket from the pie iron and let it cool for at least 5 minutes before eating.
- 7Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings.
Camp tips

- • Trim away any excess dough from the closed pie iron before cooking.
- • Hold the pie iron as flat as possible while cooking to avoid having the filling leak.
- • Let it cool for at least 5 minutes before eating.
