Langos come together from fluffy risen dough that you divide into 6 pieces, shape into flat rounds, and fry in deep oil until golden and crisp. You let a yeast starter of yeast, sugar, and lukewarm milk rise, work it into the flour, and leave the dough to prove for an hour. You brush the fried flatbreads with garlic water and sprinkle them with grated cheese. You serve them at once with sour cream while warm and crispy.

Step by step process

Dough preparation

1
Langos starts with the yeast starter: crumble the yeast into a small bowl, add the sugar, and pour in 100 ml of lukewarm milk. Let it rise for 10 minutes so the dough proofs well.
2
Sift the flour into a large bowl, add salt and the risen starter.
3
Pour in the remaining milk and oil. Work into a smooth, non-sticky dough.
4
Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, until it doubles in size.

Shaping and frying langos

5
Divide the risen dough into 6 equal parts.
6
Shape each piece by hand or with a rolling pin into a flat round about 20 cm in diameter.
7
Heat the oil in a deep pan to 170-180 °C.
8
Fry the flatbreads one at a time on both sides until golden, about 2-3 minutes each. Let the finished pieces drain on a paper towel.

Preparation of garlic water and cheese

9
Peel the garlic and press it into a small bowl.
10
Add water and a pinch of salt, mix well.
11
Grate the cheese finely on a fine grater so it melts quickly and evenly over the warm flatbreads.
