Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 loaf french bread
- 150 grams (5.3 ounces) pepperoni, sliced
- 9 slices mozzerella cheese (60 grams or 2.1 ounces)
Sauce:
- 1/2 can pizza sauce (100 milliliters or 3.4 fluid ounces)
Seasonings/Additional Ingredients:
(None listed in original recipe)
Instructions
- Slice the French bread diagonally in half, ensuring an even cut for uniform cooking across both halves of the bread.
- Apply a uniform layer of pizza sauce across the interior surfaces of the bread, coating each side thoroughly but not excessively.
- Arrange pepperoni slices and mozzarella cheese alternately along the sauce-covered bread surfaces, slightly overlapping each ingredient to create complete coverage.
- Carefully press the two bread halves together, forming a substantial pizza-inspired sandwich with the ingredients sealed inside.
- Enclose the sandwich completely in aluminum foil, wrapping tightly to prevent cheese from escaping during cooking.
- Position the foil packet on a campfire grill or barbecue, maintaining medium heat for approximately 15 minutes. Rotate the packet periodically to ensure even heating and prevent burning.
- Remove from heat after cheese melts and ingredients are thoroughly warmed, allowing the packet to rest momentarily to prevent burning.
- Unwrap the foil cautiously, slice the sandwich into manageable portions, and serve immediately while ingredients remain warm and melted.
Notes
- Customize the pizza bake by swapping pepperoni with vegetarian alternatives like bell peppers, mushrooms, or plant-based protein for dietary preferences.
- Use aluminum foil with a non-stick spray to prevent sticking and make unwrapping easier when cooking over an open flame.
- Consider adding fresh herbs like basil or oregano after cooking to elevate the flavor profile and bring a burst of freshness to the dish.
