Introduction

If you grew up with the delicious aroma of fried langoși, you will undoubtedly remember the unforgettable moments spent with family around a table full of goodies. Cheese and sour cream langoși are a perfect choice for a lavish breakfast, a delicious snack, or even an appetizer that will delight all your guests. This dish, with deep roots in culinary tradition, is not only tasty but also very versatile. In this detailed guide, I will teach you step by step how to achieve the fluffiest and most flavorful langoși that retain their taste and texture even the next day!

Ingredients

For the dough:
- 500 grams of flour
- 100 grams of sour cream
- 1 small cube of fresh yeast (approximately 25 grams)
- 250 ml of warm milk
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 tablespoon of oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt

For the filling:
- Sour cream (to taste)
- Cheese or telemea (to taste)
- Garlic sauce (optional, for an extra flavor)

Preparation Steps

1. Preparing the Dough
Start by activating the yeast. In a small bowl, add the yeast cube to the warm milk (not hot, to avoid killing the yeast) and stir gently. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface.

2. Mixing the Ingredients
In a large bowl, sift the flour, add the salt, and mix well. In the center of the flour, make a well and add the activated yeast, egg yolks, and sour cream. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix the ingredients until a wet dough forms.

3. Kneading the Dough
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can gradually add a little flour, but be careful not to overdo it, as a dough that is too firm will not rise well.

4. Let the Dough Rise
Place the dough in a bowl greased with a little oil, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.

5. Shaping the Langoși
After the dough has risen, grease the work surface with oil. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces, forming balls. Each ball is flattened with lightly oiled hands, giving it a round shape. Be careful to roll them thinner, as they will puff up a lot when fried.

6. Frying the Langoși
In a deep pan, heat the oil until it becomes very hot (about 180°C). Fry the langoși in batches, 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden and crispy. Remove them onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

7. Serving the Langoși
Langoși are best served warm. You can fill them with sour cream and grated cheese, and for an extra flavor, add garlic sauce – the combination is simply delicious!

Practical Tips

- Flour: Choose a good quality flour, preferably with a medium protein content, to achieve a soft and elastic dough.
- Yeast: If using dry yeast, replace the cube of fresh yeast with about 7 grams of dry yeast.
- Filling: You can experiment with different types of cheese. Telemea gives a saltier taste, while cheese offers a creamier texture.
- Oven Version: If you prefer a healthier version, you can bake the langoși in the oven at 200°C for about 15-20 minutes until golden.
