Just got back from camping with the family at my old Scout camp (Camp Cachalot, in Plymouth, MA) for our annual Cachalot Alumni weekend. Camping is no excuse to not eat reasonably well, especially when you’re dropping gear off at the site by car, so as usual I trotted out some of my cast iron Dutch ovens and did some baking.

These are some deep-dish pizzas that served as supper on Saturday, made using the America’s Test Kitchen recipe, adapted for cooking outdoors. I made the dough at home and packed it individually in zip-top bags, and did the rest of the cooking at camp. The pies were cooked in cake pans, elevated off the floor of the oven with trivets (a few pebbles or balls of aluminum foil would have worked just as well), with about 24 coals on the lid of the oven and about 14 under the oven (shooting for a temperature of about 425°F; I used 2 12"/6-quart Lodge camp ovens for these.)

(I had also posted this shot to the America’s Test Kitchen fan page on Facebook, and it was selected as the "fan shot of the week" for this week, as of June 2nd!)
