Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Pepperoni slices
- 1 cup Chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, mushrooms, onions)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Start your campfire and let it burn down to hot coals, or preheat a grill to medium heat.
Lightly flour a clean surface and unroll the refrigerated pizza dough. Cut the dough into 4 equal rectangles (or circles if you prefer).
Spray the center of each sheet of aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Lay one piece of dough on each aluminum sheet. Gently stretch or roll out the dough if needed.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto one half of each dough piece, being careful to leave a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce on each piece of dough.
Add desired toppings, such as pepperoni slices and chopped vegetables, ensuring the fillings don’t overstuff the calzone.
Fold the dough in half to create a semi-circle shape, covering the filling completely. Pinch the edges tightly to seal and fold them over slightly for extra security.
Brush the top of each calzone with olive oil to help crisp the crust.
Wrap each calzone loosely but securely in its aluminum foil sheet, ensuring the seams of the dough stay sealed.
Place the wrapped calzones over the hot coals or grill, seam-side up. Cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side, rotating occasionally, until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Carefully remove the calzones from the heat and allow them to cool for a few minutes before unwrapping.
Serve warm and enjoy your gooey, cheesy Campfire Calzones!
