How to Cook a Killer Pizza on your Campstove

Friends and family often ask what we eat when we're on the road. I think people picture a lot of ramen, but we actually eat really well and incorporate tons of fresh veggies into our meals. Here is a recipe for one of our favorite dishes- pizza!  

1. Choose your dough. We usually use a tortilla, but today we had some fresh focaccia from a local bakery, which we sliced in half to make it a bit thinner. Get your dough into a pan and start dressing your pie. 

2. Sauce it! We use pasta sauce on our pizzas. Next time you make pasta remember not to dump in the whole jar of sauce- save just a bit for your next pizza meal. 

3. Cheese! Lots and lots of cheese. 

4. Toppings. Do it up however you like it!

5. Cook your pie. We put pots upside down on top of the pan to create a little oven. This step takes lots of patience. You need to keep the heat very low so you don't burn the bottom of your pizza and leave the top raw. So turn it way down and open a beer because you're going to have to wait a bit. Eventually the cheese will start melting and the toppings will start to cook. You can open the oven up and squirt a little water on the side of your pan then put the lid back on. This will create steam that will help cook the top of your pizza as well. Once everything on the top looks melty you're ready to eat! If you're using a tortilla, it should have crisped up enough at this point that it will be sturdy and you can slice it and eat it like a regular pizza. Enjoy!
