Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizza Bake

     When I made this Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizza Bake from Cabot I only wished I had a troop of hungry scouts to help me polish it off.  It is the quintessential kid/teenager camping grub and something that young campers of all ages could toss together and bake in a dutch oven.  Snip the breadstick dough into one inch pieces with kitchen shears then stir in the pepperoni, mushrooms and spaghetti sauce.  You could easily change the ingredients by adding your favorite pizza toppings.  Next time I think I'll try it with cooked and crumbled Italian sausage.  In my 12 inch oven it baked for 30 minutes with 12 coals in a ring around the bottom and 24-26 on the lid, you need to keep the oven fairly hot for the dough to bake all the way through and rise.  A fun, easy way to make dutch oven pizza and you know it will be elevated to gourmet status around the campfire.
