Ingredients

• 1 large ball (approximately 12-inch diameter) Pizza dough
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 large cloves Garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0 Donair sauce (optional, for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat up if you have one, as this will create a crispier base.

Step 2

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or rectangle, depending on your preference. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely, then stir them into the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic burn.

Step 4

Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, covering the surface all the way to the edges.

Step 5

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously over the top of the dough, followed by the Parmesan cheese. Ensure the cheese is spread evenly for consistent coverage.

Step 6

Evenly sprinkle the dried oregano, dried parsley, and salt over the cheese-topped dough for added flavor.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the dough are golden-brown.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the Garlic Fingers from the oven and allow them to cool for a minute or two. Use a pizza cutter to slice them into long rectangular strips or 'fingers.'

Step 9

Serve warm with donair sauce or a dipping sauce of your choice on the side.
