🧀 Hungarian Fried Bread with Cheese (Langos) 🇭🇺
Introduction
Langos is a beloved Hungarian street food — a golden, crispy fried flatbread topped with garlic sour cream and a generous layer of grated cheese. It’s warm, savory, and absolutely irresistible, often enjoyed fresh and hot right off the fryer.
🧂 Ingredients
For the dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 3/4 cup warm milk (or water)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
For frying:
- Oil (for deep frying)
For topping:
- 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1–2 cloves garlic (crushed, optional)
- 1 cup grated cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or traditional Trappista cheese)
- Pinch of salt
👩🍳 Instructions
- Make the Dough: In a bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Add warm milk and oil gradually, kneading until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Shape the Langos: Divide the dough into small balls (about palm-sized). Roll or stretch each one into a round flat disc about 1 cm thick.
- Fry the Bread: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry each disc until golden and puffed on both sides, then drain on paper towels.
- Add the Toppings: Mix sour cream with garlic and salt. Spread over each fried bread and sprinkle generously with grated cheese.
💡 Tips
- Serve hot and fresh — Langos tastes best right after frying!
- You can also top it with ham, mushrooms, or even Nutella for a sweet twist.
