Ingredients:
- Pre-made pizza dough in a tube (one tube yields 3 calzones)
- Pizza sauce
- Cheese
- Pepperoni
- Other toppings of your choice
- Pam
Step 1: Spray Pam on both sides of the pie iron.
Step 2: Cut rectangle of dough into three even pieces and place one piece on the pie iron.
Step 3: Spread pizza sauce (about three heaping teaspoons).
Step 4: Add cheese.
Step 5: Add pepperoni
Step 6: Fold over the remaining dough to cover your calzone. With your fingers pinch the edges of the dough together before putting the top of the pie iron on.
Step 7: Cook over hot coals until warm and crisp. Time depends on how hot your coals are. Flip pie iron over and continue cooking second side.
We like to serve ours with extra pizza sauce for dipping and honey to dip the crusts in.
These would be very good for lunch, when we go camping this summer with you guys. Do you like how I'm planning the menu for you?

Okay that looks like a really great idea! Think I might post to facebook. :)

We have been doing this for years but we use biscuits instead of the pizza crust.

Works great with plain old bread for the crust too. Just butter one side and place it on the iron side.

We call these mountain pies in Pennsylvania. Also really good with pie filling.

This is a great idea. We love our pie iron and are always looking for good things to cook over the fire.
