PREP DOUGH

1. Mix warm water and yeast; let sit 5 minutes. Stir in olive oil. Whisk 2  cups flour, sugar, salt, and garlic powder; add to yeast mixture.  Gradually mix in more flour until a soft dough forms. Knead 2–3 minutes  until smooth. Cover and rest while prepping filling—no rise needed.

MAKE SAUCE

2. Melt butter, sauté garlic 30 sec. Whisk  in flour, cook 1 min. Gradually add milk, simmer until thickened (2–3  min). Stir in bouillon, Dijon, pepper, and salt. Cool slightly, then mix in sour cream. Tip: Cool sauce briefly to prevent sour cream from splitting.

PREP FILLING

3. In a large bowl, combine diced ham, shredded cheeses, and green onions. If using broccoli, stir it in here. Make sure it’s chopped small so it cooks through without making the filling watery. Pour in the warm sauce and stir to coat. Set aside to cool for easier filling.
