​Culinary Insights: Langos is a beloved Hungarian comfort food, often served at festivals and street markets, with satisfying flavors and versatile toppings for any occasion.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 packet (7g) dry yeast

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 3/4 cup warm water

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (plus extra for frying)

  • 1/4 cup sour cream (for topping)

  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (optional, for topping)

  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced (for topping)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the dough:
    In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. Make the dough:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and vegetable oil, and stir until the dough begins to form. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

  3. Shape the langos:
    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then stretch each ball into a flat circle (about 1/4 inch thick) with your hands or a rolling pin.

  4. Fry the langos:
    Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry each langos until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use tongs to flip them carefully.

  5. Add toppings:
    Once fried, drain the langos on paper towels to remove excess oil. Rub the top of each langos with minced garlic, then spread sour cream and sprinkle with grated cheese, if desired.

  6. Serve:
    Serve hot and enjoy your delicious homemade langos!
