- Opt for tomato sauce in jars instead of tins to save time and effort. You can then also make your own sauce and jar it up ahead of time, adding your herbs and spices to taste.
- To minimise waste and packing, stick to simple toppings for your pizzas, seriously, who needs pineapple anyway.
- Shredded mozzarella is a convenient and easy option compared to mozzarella balls.
- For a unique twist, consider using locally sourced toppings to add a regional flair to your pizza, we mean buy your mushrooms, don't go hunting for them.
- Save time on site by pre-slicing your meats and veggies before packing them up for your camping trip, or get the kids to do that part while you are waiting for the oven to get to temperature.
- Don't limit yourself to dinner pizzas - try a camping breakfast pizza by adding smashed avocado, bacon, and an egg to your pizza....do we need to mention pizzas for desert with Nutella?
