Warm 1 and 1/2 cups of milk in the microwave for 1 minute.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to the warm milk and stir until dissolved.

Add 3 teaspoons of yeast to the milk mixture and stir, then let it rise for 10 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine 3 and 1/4 cups of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and mix well.

After the yeast mixture has risen, combine it with the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms, adjusting with more flour or milk if necessary.

Let the dough rise for 30 minutes, covered with flour on top.

After rising, divide the dough into 9 portions and shape each into a ball.

Flatten each ball into a thin circle, ensuring the center is thinner for crispiness.

Heat oil in a pot to a depth of 1/3 of an inch over high heat.

Fry each langos until golden brown, about 1 minute per side, flipping when edges are brown.

Remove the fried langos and drain excess oil on paper towels.

Brush the langos with garlic water made from crushed garlic and salt water, or serve with ketchup and cheese.

For a sweet version, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
