How to make it

0/12

We combine cooking and adventure in nature. Here is the recipe for a genuinely good homemade pizza that tastes extra good after a day of fresh air and long stages. Whether you are hiking, camping or just relaxing around the fire, you can bake it under the open sky.

Tips for the trail

Pizza over a fire is celebration food after a long day. Prepare the dough and sauce at home, so you only have to roll out and build the pizza on the ground. If you have no pizza stone, a baking tray or a grate over the embers does the same job, you just need to watch the heat extra carefully. The rocket added on top at the end gives a fresh, peppery counterweight to the hot, golden base.

Frequently asked questions

Can the pizza be baked over a fire?
Yes. Place it on a baking tray or a grate over the embers, keep an eye on the heat and turn it gently so the base bakes evenly.
How many pizzas does the recipe make?
The dough is split in two and rolled out into two pizzas. That is plenty for a small group after a day on the trail.
Which toppings work best?
Mozzarella, pepperoni or salami, mushrooms, bell pepper and onion are classics. Fresh rocket scattered on at the end gives a crisp, fresh finish.
