Langos is a popular yeast based fried bread from Hungary. This is known as Hungarian Fried Bread in the US and I have seen street food shows showcasing them. These fried breads are just rubbed with garlic butter or topped with sour cream and cheese. There are so many variations of toppings available but you can just have them as it is. If the dough had boiled potato, then it is called as potato langos.
I made this for one Sunday lunch for Sruti and she couldn’t wait until my photo shoot. The deep fried bread turned out amazing and when topped with garlic butter and cheddar cheese, it smelled fantastic. My daughter had an amazing lunch that day. It has been a while since I deep fried food and I have also stopped buying refined oil. So all the deep fried breads in this series were shallow fried in coconut oil. At first I was skeptical about frying in coconut oil, but Sruti loved the flavour, so I was relieved. The bread looks so good with the cheese and it also tastes so delicious. So next time, if you want some deep fried bread, try these langos.

Langoos has a lot very flavor and is simple to make ! I love this langoos pizza , when I made this I had just rubbed it with garlic but we thoroughly enjoyed it . Making a pizza from it , takes it to another level … and now I am tempted !
deep fried bread topped with garlic butter sounds like utter bliss! I can’t blame Shruti for not waiting for the end of the photo session….it is too tempting to resist!!
Wow, you have nailed those fried breads prefectly. Love that you have shallow fried them in coconut oil. Langos looks amazing and extremely delicious with those cheese toppings. Well done Gayathri.
These langos bread looks fabulous. who will wait for the photoshoot done when such a tempting bread is in front of the eyes. I am in love with bread. isn’t kind of bhatura, but having with garlic butter sounds superb idea.
OMG! This looks so tempting. My little one is drooling over my shoulder 🙂
Wow this is yum, I am feeling why I did not choose this, probably due to deep fry, but this is sure so tempting. Loved it.
Yummy, I’m going try them next time with garlic butter and cheese. I usually make them with a red cabbage salad topping, some red chilli homemade sauce and cheese. Makes it a wonderful meal time option.
When I had made Langos we all enjoyed it so much as it had the cheese and deep frying it makes it fantastic. Nice to know about coconut oil for frying. Though I still use refined oil, I have included sesame, peanut and coconut oil in my cooking. I am yet to try deep frying with these oil though. My mom said they used to use peanut oil for deep frying, I must try it sometime.
I wanted to do Langos for L, but after the Indian fried bread I made, I did not want to make another fried one right away. This looks so delicious and kids would love this.
In my home anything fried is always welcome. We are a family who doesn’t count calories…he he. So this fried yeasted bread Langos is certainly for us. Will be trying it soon 🙂
I remember reading about this bread long back Gayathri. The fried bread looks so tempting and just the mention of garlic butter makes me drool! No wonder Sruti could not wait till the photo shoot!
