Aussie Campfire BBQ Pizza

 

Enjoy a true taste of the Outback with this campfire BBQ pizza, merging traditional Aussie BBQ flavours with the beloved pizza.

Ingredients:

• Pizza Dough (store-bought or homemade, consider adding a dash of wattleseed to the mix for an Aussie twist)
• Smoky Aussie BBQ Sauce
• Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Your Choice of Toppings such as:

• Grilled kangaroo or lamb slices
• Caramelised Australian bush onions
• Sliced beetroot
• Pineapple rings
• Fresh rocket leaves (to add after cooking)
• Olive Oil infused with Lemon Myrtle
• Saltbush flakes and Tasmanian pepper for seasoning

Cooking Equipment:

• Campfire Grill or Cooking Grate
• Cast Iron Skillet or Pizza Stone (optional but recommended)
• Tongs or Spatula

Instructions:

1. Build a campfire and let it burn down until you have a good bed of hot coals. Aim for medium-high heat.
2. While the fire is prepping, get your pizza toppings ready. If opting for kangaroo or lamb, ensure it's pre-grilled to avoid undercooking on the pizza.
3. Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface. If you've infused wattleseed in the dough, you'll notice a nutty aroma — very Australian!
4. Lightly oil your cast iron skillet or pizza stone (if using) with the lemon myrtle-infused olive oil. Heat it near the campfire.
5. Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to the skillet or stone. Generously spread the smoky Aussie BBQ sauce, leaving a border for the crust. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese next.
6. Arrange your toppings. Remember, if you're using fresh rocket, you'll add this after cooking.
7. Drizzle a touch more of the lemon myrtle olive oil over the toppings. Season with saltbush and Tasmanian pepper.
8. Position the skillet or stone over the campfire grill or grate. Use a lid or foil to cover the skillet, helping to melt the cheese and cook the toppings.
9. Monitor your pizza closely, rotating occasionally using tongs or a spatula for even cooking. Aim for a golden crust and melted cheese.
10. Once cooked, remove the pizza, allowing it to cool slightly. If you're using Rocket, sprinkle it over now.
11. Slice up your Aussie masterpiece, and you're ready to eat!

Tips:

• Adjust toppings based on personal preference and availability.
• Always monitor the fire to prevent your pizza from burning.
