Ingredients
(8 Servings)

- 4 cups / 500g Plain flour
- ½ cup / 125g Yogurt or quark
- 1 cup / 225g Water
- 1 teaspoon / 4g Fresh yeast
- 1 teaspoon / 5g Salt
- ½ teaspoon / 3g Baking soda (optional for added flavor and chewy interior)
- 4 cups / 1000ml Oil to fry
- Topping (optional)
- 1 clove crushed Garlic soaked in a cup of water
- 8 oz / 200g Sour cream or Creme fraiche

How to make Langos fried bread
- Knead flour, eggs, yogurt, water and crumbled fresh yeast. When it gets together sprinkle on the salt too and continue kneading. Also add baking soda for more chewy texture added flavor and deeper golden brown color.
- Once the dough comes nicely together after about 10 minutes of kneading cover the dough and place it into a 68°F – 81°F /20°C – 27°C place.
- Let it raise for about 30 – 45 minutes depending the temperature. It doesn’t need to double. More about how to bake with yeast in the KnowledgeBase.
- Take the dough out into a floured surface, dived into 8.
- Roll the dough into balls. Check out how to roll.
- Place the dough balls into a 68°F – 81°F /20°C – 27°C place to rise for 30 – 60 minutes depending on the temperature. Cover them with a damp cloth so they don’t dry out.
- Place a small dough-ball on a well-floured surface and roll them out. Alternatively skip this step and stretch by hand only.
- Strew it a bit more with fingers and let the gravity help too.
- Heat oil to 320°F – 350°F / 160°C – 180°C then place the flattened dough upside down into the frying pan. Temperature is paramount!
- After about 30 seconds or until it’s golden brown, flip it over.
- Take it out and let it drip. Repeat it with the rest of the dough-balls.
- Apply topping and serve it immediately.
Enjoy!
Note: Garlic topping should be prepared in advance or applied directly by rubbing a clove of garlic onto the surface of the bread. To make garlic topping, dice a clove of garlic up then put it in a cup. Add salt then after an hour add half a cup of water and let it sit for at least an hour. Apply the garlic sauce with a brush onto the surface of the bread.
