Steps:
- In a mixing bowl or pot, add the flour, yeast, and salt. Briefly mix with a fork to distribute the ingredients.
- Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons oil to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork until the ingredients begin to form a dough.
- Knead the dough a few times (you can do this in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface) so that all the ingredients are well incorporated and the dough comes together.
- Cover the dough and let it rise for 20 minutes.
- After the dough has risen, turn it out onto a cutting board and divide the dough into two equal pieces.
- To form the crust, add 1 tablespoon oil into a preheated 10" (for a thicker crust) or 12" (for a thinner crust) cast iron skillet and swirl to coat the surface. Place one of the dough halves in the skillet, and using your fingers, press and push the dough towards the edges of the skillet. Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon oil along the edge of the skillet.
- Place the skillet on a grate over your campfire, or on your camp stove at fairly high heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the bottom has firmed up and begins to turn golden brown (you'll want to lift the side up around the 3 minute mark to see how it's doing and determine how much longer it should remain on the heat).
- Pull the skillet off the fire and place on a heat-safe surface. The skillet will be HOT, so take care with the next few steps.
- Using a pair of tongs, lift the crust out of the skillet and flip it so the uncooked side is face down in the skillet. Add your toppings, cover the pizza with a cast iron lid if you have one or a sheet of foil, and return the skillet to your campfire or stove.
- Cook the pizza for an additional 3-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Remove the lid/foil after a few minutes, once the cheese has melted, to let the steam escape for the remainder of the cooking time.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, carefully transfer the pizza to a plate, and repeat with the second half of the dough.

Steps:
- Place pizza stone on grill directly over wood fire. You may need to begin by spreading out the wood if the flames are too tall. Roll out the pizza dough to desired thickness. Place it on the pizza stone and cook 10 minutes on one side until golden.
Tips:
- For a crispier crust, preheat your pizza stone or cast iron skillet over the campfire for at least 10 minutes before cooking the pizza.
- To prevent the pizza from sticking to the stone or skillet, sprinkle a little cornmeal or flour on the surface before adding the dough.
- Be careful not to overload the pizza with toppings, as this will make it difficult to cook evenly.
- Cook the pizza over medium-low heat, rotating it occasionally, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- If you are using a wood-fired oven, use a long-handled pizza peel to transfer the pizza to and from the oven.
Conclusion:
Cooking pizza over a campfire is a fun and easy way to enjoy a delicious meal outdoors. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a pizza that is just as good as anything you would get from a pizzeria. So next time you are camping, be sure to give campfire pizza a try!
