Dairy-Free Lángos Bites with Garlic Oil

Ingredients

• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 tsp Instant Yeast
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Warm Water
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 cups Vegetable Oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
2. 2Add the warm water and olive oil and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3. 3Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
4. 4Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. 5While the dough is rising, prepare the garlic oil. Mince the garlic and heat it in a small saucepan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over low heat for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
6. 6Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small pieces (about 1-2 inches in diameter).
7. 7Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
8. 8Fry the dough pieces in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed up.
9. 9Remove the lángos bites with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
10. 10Brush the lángos bites with the garlic oil and serve warm as a snack.
