- 1 Stalk Green Onions - chopped fine
- 1 tsp Onion Flakes, Garlic Flakes & Chives - each
- 1/8 tsp Dill Weed

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to the highest setting it will go with a Pizza Stone and prepare the Garlic Finger Sauce.Place peeled Garlic into the jar with Butter Popcorn Seasoning and Oil. With Mayonnaise if using. Puree until smooth, then add in the Butter to puree. Add in the remaining ingredients and mix well. Set aside until needed.
- Roll the Pizza Dough out on a floured or Cornmeal surface, we are not after a crust, so roll all the way out. Shake off any excess flour or cornmeal and transfer to a pizza pan or screen.
- Spread Garlic Finger Sauce generously over Pizza Dough. Top with Mozzarella Cheese blend. Add Bacon Bits if desired.
- Cook in preheated oven until done, about 7 minutes. At the last minute, move the Garlic Fingers off the screen and directly on the Pizza stone to crisp the bottom. Optionally broil the top for color if needed.
- Slice down the middle, turn it 90 degrees, and slice about 1-inch fingers. Optionally Garnish with Parsley, Aleppo, or Chili Flakes & Parmesan. Serve with Donair Sauce and with other Sauces.
Notes
Leftover Garlic Finger Sauce can be covered and refrigerated or portioned out and frozen for longer storage. It can also be used to Brush Pizza Dough or Oven Subs before Saucing with Pizza Sauce, used for Garlic Bread, Bread Sticks, Toast, or Pita Bread with Everything Bagel Seasoning and Naan Garlic Fingers.
A bunch of 10" Garlic Fingers can be made up with the Garlic Spread and Cheese pressed gently to adhere and then placed on a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, these can be stacked on top of each other and frozen to cook at a later time.
Old Recipe
For those who still want access to the old recipe, it is shown below. However, I believe the listed recipe is much better in terms of flavor and much easier to put together using the jar method to create the Aioli Garlic Butter Base and in smaller amounts. It's just much quicker and easier. Garlic Spread- 2 C Aioli
- 1 C Butter
- 1 Tbl Parsley
- 1 tsp Onion Powder & Aleppo Chili Flakes - Aleppo can be substituted with Chili Flakes
- Additional Herbs & Spices - Optional
