Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup warm water

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Add the yeast mixture, warm milk, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the flour mixture.

Mix until a dough forms, then knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Shape the Langoše

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air.

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a flat, round disc about 1/4 inch thick.

Fry the Langoše

In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

Carefully place one of the dough discs into the hot oil. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried langoš and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Repeat with the remaining dough discs.
