    What kind of buns/rolls do you use? Are they pre-cooked or can they be doughy when you put them in?
    Thanks!

    I used hamburger buns for these. You can also make homemade buns/rolls, do them on English muffins, or make “mini” pizza doughs and bake the dough with ingredients…possibilities are endless!

    When I was in Girl Scouts a very long time ago, we used English Muffin to make these pizza. You take half of an English Muffin, put spagetti sauce and a slice of cheese and put it over a campfire on a foil until the cheese had melted. It is great for kids.
