Whether you're camping or having your kids cook dinner, making pizza dough in a bag is a great way to save on dishes and still gives you a great fluffy pizza crust- perfect for ovens and campfires.
In your gallon sized baggie, mix the flour, salt and sugar.
Add in the yeast and mix again.
Add the water and olive oil to the bag and close the top. Mix well again.
Knead the closed bag for a few minutes (about 5) until it's well mixed and looks like it's not super sticky.
Let the bag rest for 10-20 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
Coat your cast iron griddle or skillet with olive oil, and coat your hands as well. This helps to keep the dough from sticking to you.
Take the dough from the bag and press it down into the bottom of the pan.
If cooking in an oven, preheat the oven to 500 degrees, assemble the pizza and bake 10-12 minutes.
If cooking over a campfire, cook the crust until firm. Top with sauce and toppings and then loosely cover the top with aluminum foil. Cook about 5 minutes or so until the cheese has melted and toppings are warmed.
Slice and serve.
Notes
Pizza dough can vary, so add olive oil and water at the campsite, adjusting flour as needed for a non-sticky dough.Knead the dough in a dusted or bagged area, or use greased hands if no surface is available.Grease cast iron pans with olive oil or use cornmeal to prevent sticking.Refrigerate dough by letting it rest in the fridge for up to 24 hours before using.Freeze dough balls for future use; thaw at room temperature before baking.
