What You Need:

  • Cast Iron Skillet
  • Cooking Brush
  • Oven Mitt
  • 1 Can Refrigerated Pizza Dough
  • Pizza Sauce
  • Pepperoni
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • Dried Oregano
  • Dried Basil
  • Butter or Olive Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic Powder

What to Do:

  1. Start by building a hearty fire and setting up the fire pit’s grill grate.  If you don’t have a grill grate for your fire, you can easily use your RV’s outdoor kitchen grill, stove, or cooktop.
  2. Oil your cast iron skillet liberally.
  3. Spread the pizza dough into the skillet and cook on over the fire until the bottom has lightly browned. 5-8 minutes, checking frequently.
  4. While the crust is cooking, combine 1 tbsp butter or olive oil, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp dried basil, 2/3 tsp garlic powder, and salt to taste.
  5. Remove from the heat and flip the crust so that the cooked side is facing up and the raw side is down.
  6. Brush the butter mixture over the crust, then top with pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and any other toppings your family enjoys.
  7. Return to the heat and cook for another 5-8 minutes, until crust is crispy, but not burned, and toppings are warm.
  8. Sprinkle with a 1/4 tsp oregano, 1/4 tsp basil, and serve!
