Hungarian Langos Recipe 🇭🇺

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Make the Dough:

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve sugar in warm milk and sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
  3. Add yeast mixture and 2 tbsp oil, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

2. First Rise:

  • Cover the dough with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise 1–1½ hours until doubled in size.

3. Shape the Langos:

  1. Punch down the dough and divide into 4–6 equal pieces.
  2. Flatten each piece into a round disc, about ½ inch thick, using your hands.

4. Fry the Langos:

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C) — enough oil for shallow frying.
  2. Fry each dough disc 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed.
  3. Drain on paper towels.

5. Add Toppings and Serve:

  • Spread with garlic butter, then top with sour cream and grated cheese.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor!

💛 Ashley’s Tips:

  • For extra flavor, mix minced garlic into the oil or butter for brushing.
  • Langos are best eaten fresh and warm, but leftovers can be reheated in a skillet.
  • Try sweet versions too — sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey.

If you want, I can also give you a quick, semi-homemade version of Langos using store-bought pizza dough — same crispy, fluffy magic in half the time!
