Hungarian Fried Langos (Traditional Hungarian Fried Flatbread)

Ingredients

• 500 g all-purpose flour
• 7 g instant dry yeast (or 25 g fresh yeast)
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1½ tsp salt
• 300 ml warm milk
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

1. Mix the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and vegetable oil.
3. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8–10 minutes).
4. Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
