Hungarian Fried Dough (Lángos) with Garlic and Sour Cream - Peanut-Free

Ingredients

• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 tsp Active Dry Yeast
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Warm Water
• 2 cups Vegetable Oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 cup Sour Cream

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups of All-Purpose Flour, 1 tsp of Active Dry Yeast, 1 tsp of Sugar, and 0.5 tsp of Salt.
2. 2Pour in the 1 cup of Warm Water and mix everything together until a dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it feels smooth and elastic.
3. 3Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest in a warm place for 30 minutes to rise.
4. 4While the dough is rising, prepare the garlic: mince the 2 cloves of Garlic until very fine.
5. 5Heat the 2 cups of Vegetable Oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6. 6Once the dough has risen, divide it into 6 equal pieces. Gently flatten each piece and then stretch or roll it into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
7. 7Carefully place one dough circle into the hot 2 cups of Vegetable Oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until it is puffed up, golden brown, and crispy. Use tongs to flip it.
8. 8Remove the fried dough from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat this step with the remaining 5 dough circles.
9. 9Immediately after frying, rub the surface of each warm lángos with some of the minced 2 cloves of Garlic. Then, top each one with a dollop of the 0.5 cup of Sour Cream. Serve your Hungarian Fried Dough right away.
