Langos is a Hungarian specialty – it’s deep-fried flatbread and often brushed with garlic oil, but you can add different toppings like vegan sour cream, arugula, vegan cheese or even sweet variations!
Hello, the long-awaited Christmas season! While you may think of drinking mulled wine, baking Christmas cookies, and whatnot, eating garlic-y fried bread is definitely on my list of pre-Christmas activities.
Most Christmas markets in Austria sell lángos (Hungarian fried bread). The deep fried bread is then brushed with garlic oil. It’s very garlic-y, so definitely a commitment for the day. The bread is just the right amount of crisp and fluffy!
I like a very simple langos brushed with garlic oil, but you can also get creative with different toppings. Some ideas would be: vegan cheese + TVP bacon bits, vegan sour cream + smoked tofu cubes, or peanut butter + banana slices + shaved chocolate flakes.
Making langos at home is really easy, so let’s get started!

-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt and instant yeast. Then add olive oil and water. Stir to combine, then knead with your hands (or use a kitchen machine with a dough hook) until it’s a smooth dough. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour; If it is too crumbly, add more water.
-
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough sit in a warm place until doubled in size (about 2 hours).
-
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces (about 100g each). Roll out each piece on lightly floured parchment paper.
-
Heat the oil for frying in a pan (don’t fill it more than half full) and carefully add the lango. Let it fry for 1-2 minutes at a time. Place the langos on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Repeat for remaining langos.
-
Mince the garlic and mix it with 2 tablespoons of hot frying oil.
-
Brush fried langto with garlic oil. Sprinkle salt on top.
