For 8 portions

Ingredients

approx. 750 g all-purpose flour
500 ml lukewarm water
2 packets instant yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
oil for frying

Preparation procedure

Dough preparation Into a large bowl add the flour, instant yeast, salt and sugar. Pour in the lukewarm water and work into a smooth, soft dough by hand or with a mixer. You don't need to make a sponge – instant yeast is added directly to the flour.
Rising Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 15–20 minutes. During this time it should noticeably expand.
Shaping the langos Divide the risen dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball and let rest for another 10 minutes. Then stretch each ball by hand into a thin disk about 0.5 cm thick.
Frying Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan. Fry the langos on both sides until golden – each side takes about 1–2 minutes. Place finished langos on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
