Ingredients
- 150 g Strong Bread Flour 1 Cup + 1½ tablespoon
- 50 ml Tepid Milk 3 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon
- 1 teaspoon Dried Yeast
- ½ teaspoon Powdered Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 55 ml Tepid Water 3 tablespoon + 2 teaspoon
- Oil for Frying
For the Toppings:
- 50 ml Water 3 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon
- 50 ml Rapeseed Oil 3 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon (aka canola oil)
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 50 g Grated Cheese ½ Cup
- 100 g Sour Cream ⅓-½ Cup
Instructions
- Heat the milk so that it becomes blood temperature (37°C or 98-99°F). Mix in the yeast and powdered sugar and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
- Add the flour to a bowl with the salt, mix together and form a well.
- Pour in the yeasted milk and most of the tepid water. Stir together with the back of a knife until it becomes almost a single mass.Finish this process with your hands; you just want to form a ball, and add more liquid if required. *See notes above in the FAQ section on consistency*Cover and allow to prove for an hour; you want the dough to double in size.
- Whilst the langos dough is proving, chop the garlic as finely as you can and add it to a jar.
- Add the rapeseed oil and water and give it a shake, shake again before adding to the finished langos.
- Heat 2-2.5cm (¾-1") of oil in a 28cm or 11" frying pan to 170°C or 340°F.
- Oil your hands, grab half of the dough and form a rough circle, with the dough thicker at the edges than the centre.
- Carefully place the bread into hot oil and cook for two minutes on each side.
- Repeat with the reaming dough.
- Drain off any excess oil, then whilst warm, top with sour cream, grated cheese and some of the garlic oil.
