Hungarian Fried Bread (Lángos)

[ladybug0653]

well this video certainly is good to see. I watched another one by someone who calls herself a gourmet in Hungarian cooking. What a crock. She needs to see this. To borrow a tag line from coke...It's the real thing. Looks just like my Mom used to make En is koszonom szepen :D

[cremebruleec]

I used to eat these in Budapest all the time! They are truly DELICIOUS!

[Tahlz4life]

i used to buy these from a market with garlic oil sourcream and then grated cheese. amazing

[enekeskaboca]

áhh, királyos, imádom! :)

[csacsa123]

csinalok most azonnal

[baltakatei]

Ah, finally someone with taste buds like mine. Salt + cheese = :) None of that powdered sugar nonsense. =P

[morningstomper123]

I had my first langos on the weekend, with garlic, sour cream, cheese and sweet chilli sauce.

Delicious!

Now Thats Langos!

[h1tm4n84]

Én kérek!!!

[Riot5678]

Can you please tell me the whole recipe?!? Please get back to me ASAP!

[becakpilot]

this langos was done by a very old Hungarian grandmother who never really use measurement.

so basically it's roughly 1 kg flour with 1 block of fresh yeast and a glass of water; if its needed add a little more.

[kbelcsak]

Could you use ready-made pizza dough?

[becakpilot]

it has different texture; not sure that would work

[EBOWARRIOR]

bacon beans and a dollop of sour cream yummy.

[henrytheeigthiam]

Is there salt in the dough, or is this just added afterwards?

[becakpilot]

not in ours although yes some ppl add salt into the flour mixture

[toth1971]

bravo well done.. this is the genuine recipe nice to see. had it many times. koszonom szepen!! going to budapest soon and the first thing i'm buying is langos.

[sinuksinuk]

I make this all the time but find it better if i mix 2or 3 boiled and mashed potatoes into the dough

[becakpilot]

if your langos is using potatoes, its called krumplilangos :)

[becakpilot]

no butter is needed

its 1 kg flour with 1 block fresh yeast, 1 egg, 1 cup water (add more when its needed as said on the video)

[zimt1970]

Wow, that was awsome and I like this video much better than the one featuring the professional langos maker, LOL!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE -- can you post the quantity of the ingredients? I'd like so much to try to make this recipe myself. Thank you in advance and I really hope you'll reply! :)

[chibomato78]

this recipie is very much like my mother fry bread recipie. although there is and easier way of doing it. i can send you the recipie if you want to.

[becakpilot]

my nagymama doesnt really use measurement. Its rougly 1 kg of flour with 1 block of fresh yeast. dissolve the yeast in 1 cup of water as shown in picture, until bubbly

pour into the flour & add an egg, knead

add this point, when its needed, add more a little water until your dough is elastic

(its recipe for Kalacs as well, but use milk instead)

after frying, rub minced garlic or fresh crushed garlic, sprinkle salt, top with sour cream and grated cheese (or any other topping you prefer)

[jezz1957]

I have to agree with you bengt123...i also remember this from my childhood, eating this in the Prater in vienna..wonderful with garlic butter...and now im off to the kitchen...lol...thanks becakpilot

[bengt123]

This is one of the best foods I've EVER tasted! This was in Gothenburg in Sweden when I was little, orgasm in my mouth! :)

[ktabanyi]

Nyami, de imádom :)

[metalphysical]

I am making them now?

I hope it turns out as good as fried bannock?

Nothing is easier than fried bannock though!

I added potatoes as a traditional recipe stated.

[krokiet92]

Lángos sajtos-tejfölös is the best!

[an3urysm]

A legendás sajtos-tejfölös!

[metalmarci2]

Fincsiiiii lángos:)) nyami

[fourtysecondscarf]

We have these here! We call them 'Elephant Ears' and they are usually covered with cinnamon and sugar. They are popular at fairgrounds, vendors, and the zoo.

[becakpilot]

in Canada they call it the Beaver Tails hehe usually with cinnamon, sugar, banana, chocolate etc

It's really common I guess :) it's only fried dough after all hehe

[fourtysecondscarf]

Really, it is! Even though that's true, I never could imagine it as anything but an elephant ear. Not even with the chocolate/banana thing, though now that you mention it I think it would be awesome with Nutella!

[atnek123]

you're suposed to eat it with salt NOT sugar..

[fourtysecondscarf]

I was under the impression that you could put basically anything on it...Sort of like crepes.

[becakpilot]

the Germans love it with sugar many times :) but yes the Hungarian it eat with salty stuff as in cheese and sour cream :)

[dosagabi]

If you want to try I can give you a fake-lángos recipe... You don't need yeast for it at all. You need some sour-cream and (sunflower) oil in the batter instead of the yeast and you need to put it in the fridge instead of a warm place to double in size. let me know if interested. I'm a Hungarian living in Holland, the flour here is really different and yeast... the Dutch never heard of that :) so I can buy something similar from the local Turkish or Polish people but I didn't dare to try that :)

[becakpilot]

ah interesting to hear that the Dutch never heard of yeast because if i remember well, Dutch bread is so famous as being a yeast dough bread especially for the Oliebol (Oliebollen), i think it does use yeast and its really yummy :)

[dosagabi]

yes, they sell "yeast" and most of the bread here contains yeast... and yes, the oliebollen are made of it :) I just noticed that if I use the yeast from Hungary it is different. that's all. I really have no clue how can a yeast be different in the two countries. But nevermind. Will experiment with the Turkish, Arabian, Moroccan and Polish yeast in the very near future and will let you know which is closest to the Hungarian.

[metfan83]

besides wine its the best what hungarians have but You won't make it so good like original in hungry :/ i tried many recipies and I'm still looking

[becakpilot]

these set of pictures were actually taken back home in Hungary :) nagy mama made langos and we took the pictures :)

the thing is we back in Hungary use fresh yeast instead active dry yeast and the flour is also slightly different

nagy mama said the recipe is basic recipe similar to the one for making kalacs/bejgli, the different is that for langos you add water while kalacs/bejgli you add milk.

[metfan83]

I use fresh yeast but i don't know why when i fried it they're not so spongy like those I ate in Hajduszoboszlo or Harkany. even worst one I ate in czech republic where spongy but not so tasty. when I look closer to this recipe It looks the same like reciep for pizza so I'll have to try to do it the same like You or I'll have to go to Hungary for the sixth time to eat orginal :)

[becakpilot]

hehe yeah i understand what you are saying; i have the same problem with kakaos csiga. although it does look like cinnamon roll, it has different texture; and i just dont trust recipes on the net for kakaos csiga because certain flour in Hungary is different to the ones we have here in North America; cannot really be substituted :(

[becakpilot]

and my problem with nagy mama' recipes is that she doesnt really use measurement hahaha she always say add a little of this and a little of that and feel it with your finger for the correct texture, etc.

so am often lost :D

do you read Magyar? i have some recipes if you do; nagy mama gave them to me, but they are not the exact recipes that she use, as i said she doesnt use measurement :)

[metfan83]

I don't use measurement either, I just add one of ingredient which i think that is missing when I make the dough unluckily I don't read hungarian in any other popular language I could try to translate it but not in this. first I must find some free time to try this recipe and maybe it'll be it. if not I'll look for hungarian dictionary :)

[becakpilot]

hehe let me know how it turns out and if you still need the recipe from my end :)

[crippled82]

gonna try making it, with garlic overdose :P

[becakpilot]

hahah that actually would taste really good and especially with tons of grated cheese ontop!

have fun making ^_^
