Campfire Pizza Cooked in a Dutch Oven. Handmade Bread Dough. Baker Tent.

  • In this video, I venture out into the wilderness of my garden to do a bit of campfire cooking. I have set up my trusty homemade baker tent (apt!) in a quiet corner amongst the bushes with a fire pit in order to continue filming during the current crisis and lockdown - the perfect retreat!
    After making and hand stretching a simple bread dough, I use my biggest Dutch oven to prove the dough and then bake a delicious pizza over the campfire.
    Wood fired pizza is simply the best!
    I hope you are all well during these ongoing troubled times, hopefully things will return to normal soon!
    Stay safe and take care.

    Bread Recipe
    1 Ib plain flour (450g)
    1 lb strong white bread flour (450g)
    1 oz dried yeast (28g)
    1 oz sugar (28g)
    1 oz salt (I only use 1/2 tsp)
    1 (imperial) pint tepid water ( 568ml or 1 1/5 US pint)
    Mix a little of your water with the sugar and yeast and set aside (it’ll start to froth as the yeast feeds off the sugar)
    Combine the flour and salt in a bowl or large zip-lock bag
    Make a well in the middle of the flour mix and add the yeast mixture, a little at a time, combining with the dry ingredients
    Keep adding the remainder of the water, mixing all the time
    Once it is all combined, clear a space, roll up your sleeves and get ready to get physical!
    Kneed the dough for at least 5 minutes, folding and pushing it to create stretch and structure in the dough
    Place the dough in a warm place to prove - it needs to double in size.
    Once proven, knock the air back out and kneed again.
    Cut into 8 rounds, roll out and stretch to the size you like.
    If you like, you can part bake your bases at this point, other wise carry on to the next stage
    Assemble your pizzas, adding toppings AFTER the cheese! Season.
    Bake in a hot oven or dutch oven until golden brown and crispy.
    Enjoy

    A small tip from someone who worked in a pizza shop , brush a little olive oil over the base all the way to edges , before you put the tomato etc on top . It browns it nicely and makes for an even crunchier crust 🍕.

    Looks delicious! This brings back a fun memory from many years ago. I took a large group of friends to Antelope Island in Utah's great Salt Lake. We hand mixed homemade dough and put everyone to work making custom pizzas and cooking over charcoal in 14 inch dutch ovens. We ended up making 16 pizzas! We ate and ate on that beautiful summer night with buffalo and other wildlife wandering near us. We woke up to pizza leftovers for breakfast! I'll never forget that, one of my most memorable pizza cooking adventures ever! Thank you for the happy reminder!

    Definitely, a trivet/meat rack is a required item for Dutch Oven cooking. Good for you to mention how your bread was burned without it. Fortunately, I saw videos that taught me their value before baking chicken in my Dutch oven.

    'If it ain't raining...we ain't training?' in a 'woodsy' corner of your garden, you can do anything you could do in the woods or in the field...except for the longer pack in and out. Great tutorial, with the pre-baking of the crust being important for the Dutch Oven. Love the sounds of the thin and crispy crust.

    I still remember when you made the baker tent. Glad to see it still works well. I'm thankful that many of you youtube bushcrafters are keeping up the videos as best you can during the Covid craziness. I for one really appreciate the effort and original ideas. By the way, thanks for the tip on Richard Outdoors. I like his channel too. Both of you are well rounded in that you have outdoor hikes and adventures, recipes and cooking and hot-to aspects to your channels that I learn from. I made my wife (she's the bushcrafter in the family) the same spice kit you have after watching one of your videos and checking out the video you suggested where you got the idea from. It works well Thanks, snd keep up the good work!
