Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices White or wheat sandwich bread
- 0.5 cups Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 16 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cups Other pizza toppings (e.g., diced bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, etc.)
- 1 unit Pie iron
Instructions
Preheat your campfire or fire pit until you have a bed of hot coals.
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. The buttered side will prevent sticking in the pie iron.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, into one half of the opened pie iron.
Spread 1-2 tablespoons of pizza sauce over the non-buttered side of the bread in the pie iron.
Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza sauce.
Add 3-4 pepperoni slices and any additional pizza toppings you like.
Sprinkle another tablespoon of mozzarella cheese on top of the toppings.
Cover with a second slice of bread, buttered side up, so the buttered sides of both slices are facing outward.
Close the pie iron, trimming off any excess bread that extends beyond the edges if necessary.
Place the pie iron on the hot coals and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side or until golden brown. Flip the iron and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side. Monitor closely to avoid burning.
Carefully open the pie iron to check if the Pudgy Pie Pizza is cooked to your liking. The bread should be golden brown and the cheese should be melted.
Once done, remove the pizza carefully from the pie iron and let it cool slightly before serving.
Repeat the process for the remaining ingredients to make more Pudgy Pie Pizzas.
