The Timber Life | Fire Roasted PIZZA! Handmade Carved Maple Wood Rolling Pin & Cast Iron Cooking @TheTimberLife | Uploaded March 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I've always wanted to make pizza over the fire, and with the current global health crisis, I have been making our breads at home. So I decided to give pizza dough a try. I prepared the dough at home earlier in the day and while getting out to our bush camp, it continued to rise. This recipe is what I use for our breads, it is very simple and the best part? No kneading required!
Pizza Dough Recipe (& you only need half of the dough, save the other half for bread or you can freeze it for up to 3 months!)
3 Cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp instant yeast
2 tsp kosher salt (or table salt works)
1 tbs olive oil
1.5 - 2 cups water.
In a large bowl stir together dry ingredients. Then add the olive oil and begin slowly adding water while stirring with a wooden spoon until well combined. Feel free to add in any other herbs or spices for flavouring (I added in oregano and basil). You want the dough smooth, but not dry. If you've added too much water, just pour it out of the bowl carefully. This is pretty foolproof. The dough should be light and slightly sticky, not dry or heavy. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (or better yet, some other more eco-friendly wrap) and let it sit at room temperature until it has doubled in size (about 1-2 hours)
Take about half of the dough and place it on a floured work surface and start rolling it out until you get your desired size and shape.
If cooking over coals, don't make the same mistake we made - don't underestimate the extreme heat coals give off! Be patient and don't place your pizza on red coals, it will burn! Hindsight is always 20/20, we learned a lot and we will perfect pizza making over the fire very soon!
Enjoy and stay safe xo
