I was assigned Bibi's Culinary Adventure as my partner. You really should check out her page. She has some amazing recipes. I especially enjoyed the European section and I think my brother is going to enjoy it as well. He spent 3 years working in Eastern Europe and we have tried and tried to get him to make some recipes for us. Maybe this section will jog his memory a bit.
We selected her Hungarian Fried Bread. In our area, close to the Oklahoma state line, we really enjoy Indian Tacos for street fair food. This bread recipe reminded me a lot of them and the boys were super excited that I was trying to make them at home. Here's the recipe:
Hungarian Fried Bread (Langoše)
Ingredients:
4 cups
Flour (500g)
1 cup Milk
1/2 cup
Sour Cream
3.75 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast (25 g Fresh Yeast in original recipe)
1 teaspoon
Sugar
1 teaspoon
Baking Powder
½ teaspoon
salt
Oil
In a small bowl mix together
lukewarm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top. Let it sit for 5 minutes until
yeast rises and is foamy.
When the yeast is ready in a large
bowl mix together by hand flour, baking powder, salt, sour cream and yeast
mixture until you have smooth dough.
Cover the dough and let it rest in
the fridge for 1 hour.
Form little dough balls about the
size of an egg from bread dough. Cover them with a lint free towel and let them
rise in the room temperature for 20-25 minutes.
Heat oil on medium high (make sure
you have enough oil so flat bread can swim in it).
Stretch individual bread balls into
thin pancakes. Make sure that the middle is really thin. If you make a little
hole that’s fine.
Fry flat bread on both sides until
golden brown. The first side will take a
couple of minutes and the second side will take about half the time of the
first side.
Remove fried flat bread from the oil. I places on paper towels for a minute to let
some of the oil drain and then placed in a warm oven until all were cooked.
Bibi’s Culinary Journey had a
variety of ways her family likes to enjoy Hungarian Fried Bread. We tried several and added another way to
enjoy it.
We tried it with olive oil and black cherry vinegar for dipping. Yum!
We tried it topped with Pork Chalupa filling on top, it was almost like the Indian Tacos we buy from the street vendors. The boys loved it!
To top it off, we brushed them with butter and sprinkled them with cinnamon and sugar for dessert. So, this wasn't the most well balanced meal...a lot of carbs, but we liked all the ways we tried this bread!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteCongratulation on your blog, and recipes!
We are really proud to see a Hungarian food on your blog, because we are from there.
Some other tips: (Langos = pronounce Laangosh)
spread sour cream for topping, and some (smoked) cheese (most common in Hungary), usually we rub garlic on it before...
some bacon will it make more rich
if you like onion you can shred or slice on it.
Our favorite here is the sweet one, we have never heard before, and sounds delicious!
Best wishes
Gabi & Tamas
