Activate the fresh yeast by mixing it with a little sugar and milk, then let it sit until foamy.

In a stand mixer, combine flour, milk, salt, and sour cream with the activated yeast.

Mix the dough until it reaches the right consistency, then form it into a ball.

Cover the dough with foil or a towel and let it rise for about 1.5 hours until doubled in size.

Grease your hands with oil and take a handful of dough to shape it into a round form, keeping the edges thicker than the center.

Optionally, use a roller to help shape the dough.

Drop a small piece of dough into hot oil to test if it's ready for frying; if it fries immediately, the oil is ready.

Fry each piece of dough for about 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Remove the fried dough and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Serve the langos topped with garlic oil, grated cheese, tartar sauce, and ketchup, or simply with garlic oil.
