Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices per pizza Sliced bread
- 2 tablespoons per pizza Pizza sauce
- 0.25 cups per pizza Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 pieces per pizza Pepperoni slices or other toppings
- as needed for greasing Butter or cooking spray
Instructions
Prepare your campfire and let it burn down to glowing embers for steady heat.
Lightly grease the inside of your pie iron with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place one slice of bread into one half of the pie iron. Ensure it is pressed down slightly to fit into the mold.
Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto the bread in the pie iron, leaving a small margin around the edges to prevent spilling.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce.
Add 3 slices of pepperoni or any other preferred toppings on top of the cheese.
Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese over the toppings.
Spread another tablespoon of pizza sauce onto the second slice of bread and place it (sauce-side down) on top of the cheese and toppings to create a sandwich.
Close the pie iron and securely latch it. Trim any excess bread sticking out if necessary.
Place the pie iron onto the hot embers of the campfire. Cook for approximately 3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes on the other side. Cooking times may vary depending on the heat, so check periodically.
Carefully open the pie iron to check if the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If it's not ready, close and cook for another minute on each side if needed.
Once cooked, remove the pie iron from the fire and gently release the pizza sandwich onto a plate. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your hot and crispy Pie Iron Pizza!
