French Bread Pizza Rolls
If you love to eat pizza while camping as much as we do, we offer you these easy-make ahead French Bread Pizza Rolls for your next trip.
Servings: 6 rolls
Ingredients
- french bread rolls or loaf
- 1 tub cream cheese softened
- 1 jar pizza sauce
- dried herbs optional
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- assorted toppings
- extra sauce for dipping optional
- honey for dipping optional
Instructions
At home:
- Cut six pieces of heavy duty foil and six squares of parchment paper (optional). If you choose to use the parchment paper, place one piece on top of each piece of foil.
- Cut your rolls in half and create an assembly line.
- (Optional) Spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese on both the top and the bottom of the rolls. This helps keep the sauce from soaking into the bread if you plan on keeping them in the freezer for a while. If you will be cooking and eating these soon, it is not necessary.
- Spread a thin layer of sauce on each side of your roll. Personally, I love a saucy pizza, but it is not a good idea to use too much sauce while camping.
- (Optional) Sprinkle some dried herbs such as basil, oregano, or some sort of pizza mixture on top of your sauce. We especially like Penzey's Pizza Seasoning for topping ours.
- Layer some cheese, then your pizza toppings, then another layer of cheese on the bottom of the roll. Don’t be too generous. You want your roll to stay together while you eat it.
- Next, layer the top of the roll back over your toppings and cheese.
- Place your roll on top of your parchment paper on top of your heavy duty foil. If I’m not using the parchment paper, I will use two layers of foil as it helps prevent the pizza roll from burning. It also aids in more even heat distribution.
- Place your pizza rolls in a large zip top bag and refrigerate up to three days or freeze until time to go camping.
At the campsite:
- Start your campfire or heat up your grill so that your heat source is ready. If using wood or charcoal, let the flames die out prior to cooking your food.
- Place your pizza rolls over indirect heat for five to ten minutes, turning them a few times to help them heat evenly and allowing the cheese to melt.
- Carefully pull the packets off and let them cool for a minute or two.
- Either open the seams and place the pizza rolls on a plate or unwrap and eat bite by bite.
- Serve with extra pizza sauce and/or honey for dipping if you wish.
