Campfire Pizza

A lovely campfire spot in the back of our yard has created a great place for building family memories. From spring to fall, we usually have a campfire meal every weekend. For several seasons I have been wanting to experiment with making pizza on the campfire. I have read so many yummy recipes for grilled pizzas-- but campfire cooking is just a bit different than grilling. (maintaining constant heat... etc. can present a challenge)

Last weekend--SUCCESS.
Things to remember for the next time:

Keep them small, personal sized pizzas, for easy flipping.
Cut open half an onion and rub the open end all over the cooking greats. I read this tip for cooking burgers on the grill, but figured it couldn't hurt to try for other cooking either! (This technique is suppose to prevent food from sticking to the grates.)
Roll pizzas insided, place on cookie sheets brushed with olive oil for carrying down to the fire pit.
Cook over very hot coals, one side, until bubbles form. Flip it over and cook just until done (not brown).

Remove onto clean cookie sheet and quickly spread with sauce, toppings and cheese. Return to the grate to let cheese melt.

End result: A crispy, "gormet" style pizza. Absolutely delish. A new summer favorite!
