Hungarian Langos Recipe (Fried Bread with Cheese & Sour Cream)🇭🇺
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the dough
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm milk (if using active dry yeast, let it sit 5–10 minutes until foamy).
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt, then add the yeast mixture and oil.
Mix and knead for about 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil the dough, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2️⃣ Shape the lángos
Once risen, punch down the dough and divide into 4–6 balls.
Flatten each ball into a round disc, about ½ inch thick, stretching from the center outward (don’t roll with a pin — use your hands for that rustic look).
Let rest on a lightly floured surface for 10–15 minutes while heating the oil.
3️⃣ Fry until golden
Heat oil in a deep pan (about 2 inches deep) over medium heat.
When hot (around 170–180°C / 340°F), fry each lángos one at a time, flipping once, until golden brown and puffed — about 1–2 minutes per side.
Drain on paper towels.
4️⃣ Add toppings
While warm, brush each fried bread with garlic water or garlic oil.
Generously spread sour cream, then sprinkle with grated cheese.
Add optional toppings like ham, bacon bits, or chopped green onions if you like.
Serve immediately — they’re best hot and fresh! 🔥💛
💡 Ashley’s Tips
Add mashed potatoes (about ½ cup) to the dough for a softer, traditional texture.
For a sweet version, top with sugar, jam, or Nutella instead of garlic and cheese.
Always fry just before serving — reheating makes them lose their heavenly crispness!
