How to make it
0/8A genuinely good pizza starts with the dough. This recipe gives a soft, airy crust from just a few ingredients, and it is easy to bring along whether the pizza is baked over a fire or at home.
Once the dough has risen, shape it as you like, into a thin crisp crust or a thicker, juicier base. If you want extra flavour, stir spices such as oregano, basil or garlic powder into the dough.
Tips for the trail
The dough is easy to bring along on a trip. You can mix the dry ingredients into a bag at home and only add water and oil on the ground. Let the dough rise in your backpack or beside the fire while you get the rest of the food ready. A ball of dough takes up little space and gives a warm meal that feels like pure luxury after a day on your feet.
