Hungarian Lángos Recipe
Lángos is a beloved Hungarian street food, consisting of fried bread made from soft dough. This classic snack is cooked until golden and served with a variety of toppings.
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour - 1.1 lb or 500g
- Milk - 200ml
- Instant yeast - 2 tbsp
- Sugar - 1 tsp
- Vegetable oil - 2 tbsp
- Lukewarm water - 100ml
- Canola oil (for frying)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- To dissolve the yeast, heat milk first on a saucepan until warm, then take the milk out of the heat. Add the sugar and yeast to the milk and place it in a warm place for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Place the all-purpose flour and salt into a large bowl. Going back to the yeast mixture, add a tablespoon of lukewarm water and vegetable oil to it.
- Make a well to the dry ingredients, then pour the yeast mixture at the centre of the well you created. Start kneading the dough until all ingredients are mixed together.
- While you knead the dough, add a tablespoon of lukewarm water from time to time until it becomes a soft blistered dough.
- Shape the dough into a round, place it on a bowl, and cover it with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel. Store it in a warm place for 30 to 60 minutes to let the dough rise.
- When the dough is ready, transfer it to a lightly floured working surface with slightly oiled hands to shape the langos. Divide into four equal slices.
- Form the slices into circles about 7-inches in diameter with edges slightly thicker than the centre. Let the pieces rest and cover them with a kitchen towel for 20 more minutes.
- Heat the oil in a low-bottomed pot. Once the oil is hot, fry the langos one at a time.
- Fry each side for a minute or until golden in colour. Once done, take it out of the pot, let them drain on paper towels, then serve with any topping of your choice.
