This simple but exciting Hungarian street food is made of yeasted fried bread covered in cheese, garlic, and sour cream. Langos is the perfect way to taste Hungary!
Make the Dough - using the bread hook on the kitchen mixer, combine and knead your dough. The dough should have a lot of elasticity but will still stick to your fingers a bit.
