Directions
-
Preheat your campfire coals until they are hot and glowing, or prepare your pie iron grill.
-
Take two slices of wheat bread and place one on a flat surface.
-
Spread approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the center of the first bread slice, leaving a small border.
-
Top the sauce with shredded mozzarella cheese and a few slices of pepperoni.
-
Place the second slice of bread on top to form a sandwich.
-
Butter the outer sides of both bread slices lightly to help them brown and prevent sticking.
-
Open the pie iron and place the sandwich inside, pressing the lid down gently to flatten slightly.
-
Place the closed pie iron directly onto the hot coals or grill grate.
-
Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, flipping the iron halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
-
Carefully open the hot iron, remove the pizza pie, and let it cool for a minute before serving.
