Ingredients

  • wheat flour400 g
  • milk250 ml
  • dry yeast7 g
  • sugar1 tsp
  • salt1 to taste
  • frying oil500 ml
  • garlic2 cloves
  • water50 ml
  • sour cream150 g
  • hard cheese150 g

Instructions

1

In 100 ml of warm milk, dissolve 7 g of dry yeast and 1 tsp of sugar, stir and set aside for 10 minutes until a foamy cap forms.

2

Sift 400 g of flour into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, pour in the yeast mixture and the remaining warm milk (150 ml). Knead a soft, elastic dough that doesn't stick to your hands, for 5-7 minutes.

3

Cover the dough with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for 60 minutes, until doubled in volume.

4

Punch down the dough, divide it into 4 equal portions, roll each into a ball and let rest under plastic wrap for 15 minutes.

5

Stretch and flatten each ball with oiled hands into a flat disc 1.5-2 cm thick in the center, leaving the edges a bit thicker than the middle.

6

Heat 500 ml of oil in a saucepan to 170-180°C and fry the langos for 2-3 minutes on each side until evenly golden brown.

7

Crush 2 garlic cloves with a pinch of salt, dilute with 50 ml of water, and brush this garlic water onto the hot langos right off the pan.

8

Place the langos on plates, generously spread with 150 g of sour cream and sprinkle with 150 g of grated hard cheese. Serve immediately while hot.
