Learn how to make langos, a tasty fried Hungarian bread that is best enjoyed warm. To simplify the recipe, instant yeast and a stand mixer is used to make the dough.
In a bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, salt and sugar. Mix with a spoon. Add yeast. Mix again. Add milk and give it a quick mix with a spoon again.
With bread attachment, mix on low speed for a few minutes (about 3-4) or until well combined (see note 4).
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and clean kitchen towel. Let it proof in a warm place until doubled in size (45-60 minutes, see note 5).
When ready, transfer the dough onto a well-floured worktop. Divide into 4 equally-looking pieces.
Form a ball out of each piece.
Roll out with a rolling pin (about ¼-inch/0.5-centimeters thick and about 7-inch/17-centimeter in diameter).
In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil.
When hot, add one rolled flatbread in. Fry for about a minute before turning it over (use kitchen tongs) and fry for a further minute.
Langos should be nice golden brown, but some pale spots are fine.
Place each fried bread onto a few sheets of paper kitchen towel to get rid of any excess oil.
Spread each with a mixture of crushed garlic & olive oil.
Top with sour cream and shredded cheese.
Enjoy warm!
Notes
For frying use any mild-flavored oil with a high smoke point (I don’t recommend using olive oil). For a 5-quart (5-liter) Dutch oven you will need at least 2 cups of oil. If using a skillet/frying pan, you might need less.
Instead of mixing oil and crushed garlic, you can use melted garlic butter.
It is entirely up to you how much of each topping you use!
The dough should be soft and sticky.
Proofing time may vary depending on your kitchen's temperature. It can be somewhere between 40-60 minutes. Sometimes even more.
