Hi all,

We done 5 pizzas in the camp oven on sunday night. Turned out an absolute treat. All you need is pizza bases from the supermarket, tomato paste, ham, onion, pineapple, mushroom, cheese, bbq sauce, capsicum and whatever else tickles you.

Pre heat the camp oven in the fire, once hot, pull out and throw in pizza on a pizza tray, sitting on trivet. Put lid on and throw hot coals on the lid, after 5 minutes return oven to the fire to make the bottom nice and crisp. Allow about 5 minutes on the fire, but monitor the pizza because it doesnt take long to burn. We didnt burn any, but went close.

Like I said, works out bloody spot on, so get out there and cook one.

Welcome Azzaz, and not being picky but you gotta show a picture of the bottom as well as that for me is the tricky bit and BBC makes his perfect top and bottom.  Cheesy

Aart he did say put whatever takes your fancy  Cheesy not everyone likes a fishy salty flavour  Wink

AZZAZ  I think your method of just heating the top for the first 5 minutes looks like it works well with pizza base.  Will have to see how it goes with from scratch pizza dough.

you can keep the anchovies to yourselves, absolute rot in my opinion. Would have ruined an otherwise fantastic pizza.

Go for the Buffalo Mozerella......shmick, that's what real Italian Pizza's are made with, you can get the same thing in the supermarkets but they call it Boccocini I think, it comes in a clear tub with the cheese (balls) submerged in liquid.

Cheers, Mick.

My trendy daughter introduced me to the Boccocini, I find it tasteless and like rubber!!!!

I like philly in somethings and no doubt its fine with spicy additives on a pizza, but give me good old extra tasty nz cheese (sorry oz milkos) any day.  I like a sprinkle of parmesan to make it even tastier.

This has always had me a bit worried Undecided Proper Mozerella as Mick says is supposed to be made from Buffalo milk. But how many Buffalos have you seen wandering around in Italy????? Undecided

HHHMMMMMM.....found this ..........

The history of water buffaloes in Italy is not settled.

One theory is that Asian water buffaloes were brought to Italy by Goths during the migrations of the early medieval period.[18] However, according to the Consorzio per la Tutela del Formaggio Mozzarella di Bufala Campana, the "most likely hypothesis" is that they were introduced by Normans from Sicily in 1000, and that Arabs had introduced them into Sicily.[19] The Consorzio per la Tutela also refers to fossil evidence suggesting that water buffaloes may have originated in Italy.[20] A fourth theory is that water buffloes were brought from Mesopotamia into the Near East by Arabs and then introduced into Europe by pilgrims and returning crusaders.[8]

"In ancient times, the buffalo was a familiar sight in the countryside, since it was widely used as a draught animal in plowing compact and watery terrains, both because of its strength and the size of its hooves, which do not sink too deeply into moist soils."[citation needed]

References to cheese products made from water buffalo milk appeared for the first time at the beginning of the twelfth century.[citation needed] Buffalo mozzarella became widespread throughout the south of Italy from the second half of the eighteenth century, before which it had been produced only in small quantities.[21]

"Production in and around Naples was briefly interrupted during World War II, when retreating Nazis slaughtered the area's water buffalo herds, yet commenced a few years after the armistice was signed".[22]

Belive it or not Italy is Europe's biggest rice grower.
I traveled through there a couple off years ago and could not believe it, the country side is flat and has rice for miles. So the water buffalo thing is a big possibly.
