Instructions
Dough:
In medium mixing bowl, stir together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, sugar and yeast.
Add hot water and stir until flour mixture is moistened. Stir with spoon or hands until dough forms a ball. If mixture is too dry and there is flour remaining that doesn't mix into the dough, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of hot water over dough and knead. Add additional water 1 tablespoon at a time if needed until all flour is added to dough. Knead after adding any additional water. You don't want the dough to become wet.
To prepare in a mixer: Put all ingredients except water in mixing bowl and stir on low to blend ingredients. WIth motor running, add hot water and mix until a ball forms. Add additional hot water if needed. Knead for 3-4 minutes or until dough is smooth.
Knead dough for several minutes until a smooth ball forms.
Brush dough with olive oil and let dough rise in mixing bowl for 30 minutes.
While dough is rising, grate cheese for topping and prepare the dip.
Donair Dip:
In small bowl, stir condensed milk, whipping cream, garlic powder and onion powder together until well mixed.
Add vinegar to condensed milk mixture and stir thoroughly.
As it sits, the dip will become very thick. Refrigerate until serving time.
Prepare Garlic Fingers for baking:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
Roll out risen dough into rectangle and place in baking dish. Push dough into corners and up sides if needed to create an edge crust.
Mix together the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1-1/2 teaspoons of garlic power. Brush mixture over dough. Top with grated cheese and freshly ground pepper (if using).
Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned, and cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Let fingers cool for 5 minutes in pan, then remove and cut into fingers. Cut into 3 pieces along the width, then cut each piece into six fingers.
