Campfire Pizza Recipe: Vegan & Customizable

Cooking campfire pizza is easy, quick and gives the pizza that authentic wood-fired taste. Pizza is a really simple dish to make, and you can use whatever toppings you want.

This easy campfire pizza is perfect for a family or a group of campers to share. We use an English scone recipe for the base which is simple and requires few ingredients. Depending on the facilities where you’re camping, you may choose to make the dough at home first, and bring it with you in a cooler.

If you choose to make the dough when you’re camping, you need to bring all the correct utensils with you (see list below). It would also be useful if there is a table for rolling out the dough. Make sure you bring extra flour to dust your rolling pin and chopping board with.

You could also prepare your other ingredients at home. Wash and slice the vegetables and grate the cheese and put them into airtight containers. Measure out the flour, baking powder and salt and put them together in one airtight container. Measure out the margarine and put it in another airtight container. If you’re bringing tofu, wash it and cut it into cubes, before placing in its own container.

For the topping you’re welcome to choose anything you like. We like seasonal, organic vegetables and vegan cheese.

Makes 6 slices

Materials:

• Measuring cups
• Mixing bowl
• Large wooden spoon
• Large chopping board
• Rolling pill
• Cast iron skillet pan
• Sharp knife
• Cheese grater

Ingredients:

Base

• 1 cup flour
• 1.5 tsp. baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup vegan margarine
• 7 tbsp. water

Choice of vegan pizza toppings

• 1 tbsp. tomato puree
• Any sliced seasonal vegetables (such as tomatoes, sweetcorn, steamed broccoli, courgette, peppers)
• Sliced onions, garlic or chilli for extra flavor
• Firm tofu, cut into cubes
• Vegan grated cheese

Instructions

1. Sieve the flour, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl.
2. Add the margarine and use your fingertips to rub it in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the water gradually to give a soft dough – don’t use too much as the mixture will be too sticky. Knead lightly.
3. Lightly dust the rolling pin and chopping board with flour. Roll out the dough to fit your skillet and place inside.
4. Cook the base first on the fire until the bottom has browned lightly, then remove from the heat and turn over. 
5. Add your pizza toppings. Start with the tomato puree, then add the vegetables and/or other toppings and sprinkle the vegan cheese on last.
6. Return to the heat and cook until the bottom of the crust is light brown. You may want to cover the skillet to brown off the vegetables.
