Cheesy Garlic Fingers with Donair Dipping Sauce

Cheesy Garlic Fingers with Donair Dipping Sauce

Here’s a deep, burning question: Is there anything better than homemade, piping-hot pizza?

The marriage of garlic bread and cheese pizza is a Maritime province speciality (a region in Eastern Canada that includes Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island), and the reason these fingers are distinct is twofold: the cut and the sauce.

Inspired by tzatziki (a Greek yoghurt sauce), the donair sauce (and dish) wasn’t invented until the 1970s when Greek brothers Peter and John Gamoulakos opened Velos Pizza in Bedford, Nova Scotia.

So the next time you’re feeling extra hungry or indulgent, why not serve garlic fingers and donair sauce alongside your pizza or as a late-night sweet and savoury snack?
