This classic dish, with a crispy texture and a fluffy interior, has delighted generations, and the combination of flavors is simply irresistible. Preparation time: 30 minutes Rising time: 1-2 hours (or up to a week in the fridge) Frying time: 15-20 minutes Total: Approximately 2-3 hours (depending on rising time) Number of servings: 4-6 servings (depending on the size of the langos) Ingredients For the dough: - 1 kg of flour - 1 cube of fresh yeast (approximately 42 g) - 1 teaspoon of salt - 2 egg yolks - 500 ml of lukewarm milk - 200 ml of sour cream - Oil (for greasing the bag, for rolling out the langos, and for frying) For the filling: - 2 heads of garlic - 200 ml of sour cream (for serving) - Sheep telemea cheese (grated, for serving) Step-by-Step Preparation 1. Preparing the Dough Start by preparing the dough. In a large bowl, add the flour and salt. In another container, dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk. Make sure the milk is not too hot, as excessive heat can kill the yeast. Add the dissolved yeast to the flour, along with the egg yolks and sour cream. Mix all the ingredients well until you obtain a homogeneous dough. It may seem sticky at first, but don’t worry! The oil will help you handle it more easily. 2. Rising the Dough Place the dough in an oiled bag. Cover it and let it rise at room temperature for about 1-2 hours or until it doubles in volume. If you prefer to leave it in the fridge, it can be kept for up to a week, making it an excellent choice for unexpected guests! 3. Shaping the Langos Once the dough has risen, take a piece of it and roll it out on a surface sprinkled with oil, giving it a round shape. Use your finger to make a hole in the middle of each langos. This not only gives it a traditional look but also helps it fry evenly. 4. Frying the Langos In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Ensure that the oil is hot enough to fry the langos. When the oil reaches the optimal temperature, carefully add the langos, frying them on each side until they become golden and crispy (about 3-4 minutes on each side). Remove them onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil. 5. Preparing the Garlic Sauce Meanwhile, peel and crush the garlic. To create a creamy sauce, combine the crushed garlic with a little oil (preferably very little) until you obtain a paste. Add sour cream and mix well. This will be the base of your delicious sauce for spreading on the langos. 6. Assembling Take a warm langos and spread the garlic and sour cream mixture using a pastry brush. Grate the sheep telemea cheese on top for a savory taste. If you want to try a sweet version, you can spread the langos with jam, but the classic combination with garlic and cheese is definitely the most appreciated! Practical Tips - Types of Flour: You can experiment with whole wheat flour or corn flour for a different texture and taste. - Spices: Add herbs to the dough (such as dill or oregano) for extra flavor. - Variations: Instead of telemea, you can use feta cheese or cottage cheese for a lighter option. - Serving: These langos are delicious warm but can also be enjoyed at room temperature. Perfect for parties or gatherings with friends! Nutritional Benefits Langos are a good source of carbohydrates, providing the energy needed to start your day. Garlic, in addition to adding a unique flavor, is known for its health benefits, having antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Frequently Asked Questions - Can I use dry yeast instead of fresh yeast? Yes, you can use dry yeast, but make sure to follow the instructions on the package for the appropriate amount. - How can I store leftover langos? Langos can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat them in a skillet to make them crispy again. - Can I freeze langos? Yes, you can freeze fried langos. Make sure they are completely cooled before placing them in freezer bags. Now that you have all the necessary information, all that's left to do is to start cooking! Langos with sour cream, garlic, and cheese are sure to bring joy and pleasant memories with every bite. Try them, share them with your loved ones, and enjoy the moments spent together!
