last summer we tried to make a pizza over the fire. this didn't work. has anyone had success with this? If so, how?
If you don't want to shovel coals out of the campfire, light charcoal briquettes and place them on the bottom of the upside down Dutch oven as suggested by phatch. Cover the oven with a heavy layer and place one or two rings of coals under the lid. As with any pizza, you want a hot oven, around 540 degrees.Use a large dutch oven upside down. I've done it. Not strictly campfire at that point but still good.
Why not? For most cases, 16" is the biggest most people can find and that's not too unwieldy and is a good sized pizza.A large dutch oven wouldn't be very practical, depends if you want to camp in the back yard on not I guess.
I have not heard anyone had a success in making a pizza over the fire. The main process of cooking a pizza should be at I think 250 Flast summer we tried to make a pizza over the fire. this didn't work. has anyone had success with this? If so, how?
Hm, I think the temperature should be a trifle higher than 250°F, probably closer to 450°-550°F?I have not heard anyone had a success in making a pizza over the fire. The main process of cooking a pizza should be at I think 250 F
and the heating element should be both on top and bottom.![]()
I was thinking the same thing. I'd give it a try though.Bon journo , I thought i've seen every way to make pizza but this one i do not know if it is the best idea i mean i dont see how the heat could move around enough or it could even get hot enough but i do not know. Ciao
