Langos Like at the Christmas Market

Ingredients

• 350 g Type 550 wheat flour
• 40 g Garlic oil (for the dough)
• 20 g Salt (add only after the initial mixing)
• 150 g Whole milk
• 20 g Fresh yeast (Alternatively, 10 g instant yeast)
• 180 g Potatoes (waxy to floury; boil unpeeled until tender, then press through a potato ricer)
• Frying oil (for deep-frying; quantity not specified)
• Sour cream (as a topping; also referred to as homemade garlic sauce in the spoken recipe)
• Bacon (as a topping)
• Spring onions (as a topping)
• Cheese (for serving; quantity and type to taste)
• Garlic oil (additional, for serving)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the unpeeled potatoes in a pot of cold water and boil until they are very tender.

2. 2

   Press the tender, unpeeled potatoes through a potato ricer. This means they do not need to be peeled beforehand.

3. 3

   Place the potatoes, milk, flour, 40 g garlic oil, and the fresh yeast or 10 g instant yeast in a bowl.

4. 4

   First, gently mix the ingredients on low speed for about 3 minutes.

5. 5

   Now add the salt and continue kneading the dough at a higher speed.

6. 6

   Remove the dough from the bowl and briefly continue working it by hand until it becomes smooth.

7. 7

   Shape the dough into a slightly taut ball.

8. 8

   Divide the dough ball into portions weighing about 80 to 100 g each.

9. 9

   Shape each portion into a small ball and place the balls in a box with a lid.

10. 10

    Cover the box and let the dough balls rise at room temperature for 1 hour.

11. 11

    Roll out the risen dough balls. They do not need to be perfectly round; small irregularities are expressly desirable. The center may be slightly thinner, creating a thicker edge.

12. 12

    Pour frying oil into a large pot and heat it to about 160 to 170 °C.

13. 13

    Place the rolled-out langos into the hot oil in batches and deep-fry on both sides until beautifully golden brown all over.

14. 14

    Serve the finished langos with sour cream or garlic sauce, spring onions, bacon, cheese, and additional garlic oil.

Notes

The description lists sour cream, bacon, spring onions, and additional garlic oil as toppings. The spoken portion also mentions homemade garlic sauce and cheese; quantities are not specified. The quantity of frying oil, as well as the exact cooking time for the potatoes and frying time, is missing from the source.
