Authentic Hungarian Lángos Recipe | Classic Fried Dough

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds flavor without dairy.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber.

Combine 1kg flour, 2 sachets of instant yeast, salt, sugar, and 2 tbsp sunflower oil in a large bowl.

Gradually add warm water until a smooth, homogeneous dough forms.

Cover with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 30-45 minutes until it has doubled in volume.

Divide the risen dough into 200g balls. Grease your work surface with oil (not flour) to keep the dough supple and easy to handle.

With oiled hands, gently stretch each ball into a flat disc, keeping the center thin and the edges slightly thicker for a puffy crust.

Deep-fry in hot oil (180°C) for about 1 minute per side until deep golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
