Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes Total time: 25 minutes Number of servings: 10 langos Ingredients: - 350 g creamy cheese (I recommend President cheese, which has a fine texture and delicious taste) - 350 g flour - 2 eggs - 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder - Starch (for dusting the work surface) - Oil (about two cups for frying) A Bit of History Langos are a popular delicacy that has become a symbol of streets and markets, often enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. These mini-fried breads are so versatile that they can be served with various fillings or plain, as I will present them. Get ready to enjoy them with your loved ones because once you try them, they will surely disappear quickly from the plate! Step by Step: How to Prepare Delicious Langos 1. Preparing the Ingredients To begin, make sure you have all the ingredients at hand. You will need creamy cheese, flour, eggs, Greek yogurt, baking powder, starch, and oil. Keep in mind that creamy cheese is essential for achieving a rich taste and soft texture. 2. Mixing the Dough In a large bowl, add the creamy cheese and crumble it well with a fork. Add the eggs and yogurt, mixing until you get a homogeneous composition. Then incorporate the flour and baking powder. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to mix everything until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. If it is too sticky, don't hesitate to add a little more flour. 3. Shaping the Langos On a floured surface (or, for an easier result, dust with starch), divide the dough into about ten equal pieces. Each piece should be the size of a tennis ball. Roll and flatten each piece with your fingers and then with the palm of your hand, forming a thin disc. Be careful not to stretch them too much so they don't break. 4. Frying In a frying pan, heat the oil (make sure it is hot enough but not smoking) and add the langos, a maximum of two or three pieces at a time, to avoid cooling the oil. Fry them on each side for 2-3 minutes until they become golden and crispy. Don't stray from the pan, as they cook quickly! Use a spatula to carefully turn them. 5. Draining the Oil After frying, remove the langos onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil. Serving and Suggestions Langos can be served plain or with salty cheese added on top. You can also add some fresh herbs or spices for extra flavor. They are also delicious alongside a garlic yogurt sauce or a fresh salad. Practical Tips - Starch is a great trick to prevent the dough from sticking to the work surface. Use it with confidence! - The oil needs to be hot enough to fry the langos quickly. A simple method to check if the oil is ready is to throw in a small piece of dough; if it starts to sizzle immediately, it's time to fry! - Variations: You can experiment with different fillings, such as cottage cheese mixed with herbs or even a sweet filling like cherry jam. Nutritional Information Each langos contains about 150 calories, depending on the amount of oil used for frying and the added ingredients. Creamy cheese provides protein and calcium, while Greek yogurt adds even more nutritional benefits, being a good source of probiotics. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can I use another type of cheese? Yes, you can use cottage cheese or mozzarella, but the taste and texture will change. 2. How can I store langos for later consumption? You can keep them in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Reheat them in a pan to regain their crispy texture. 3. Can I freeze langos? Yes, you can freeze them before frying. You can fry them directly from the freezer, but it may take a little longer. So get ready to indulge in this quick recipe for langos with salty cheese! These snacks are perfect for any occasion, whether you enjoy them with family or friends. Don't forget to share this recipe with your loved ones and savor every bite!
