- 7 g Active dry yeast

👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the foamy yeast mixture and mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 3
Let the dough rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
⏱️ 1 hour - 4
Shape the dough: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 6 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, flatten each portion into a round, thin disc (about 1/4 inch thick), stretching it from the center outwards.

Fry the lángos: Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat to about 180°C (350°F). Carefully place one or two dough discs into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed up.
⏱️ 6 minutes - 6
Drain the lángos on paper towels. While still hot, rub one side with a clove of garlic.

Serve immediately: Top the garlic-rubbed side with a generous dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of grated cheese. Other toppings like bacon bits, chives, or even jam are also popular.
💡 Consejos de Profesional
- ✓Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying; otherwise, the lángos will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- ✓Don't make the dough too stiff; a softer dough results in a lighter lángos.
- ✓Stretching the dough thinly is key to achieving the characteristic texture.
- ✓Experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination.
