Ingredients
  

Here is our basic recipe for classic lángos (approximately 8-10 pieces):

  • 500 g all-purpose flour
  • 25 g fresh yeast or 1 packet dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 300 ml lukewarm water
  • 100 ml milk
  • 1 tbsp oil for the dough
  • Oil for frying
  • Toppings as desired see "serving suggestions" below

Instructions
 

Preparation:

  • Mix the sugar into the warm milk, crumble in the yeast, and let it activate for 10 minutes.
  • Place the flour in a bowl, add salt, oil, water, and the activated yeast.
  • Knead well, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  • Transfer the dough onto a floured surface, divide into 8–10 equal pieces, and stretch them by hand into round shapes.
  • Fry in hot oil on both sides until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Traditional: brushed with garlic oil, topped with sour cream and grated cheese
  • Extra: with ham and sour cream, sheep cheese, or even pizza-style toppings
