Bowls for mixing the dough

Ingredients

300 gms All Purpose flour
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 cup water
½ teaspoon salt
Oil for frying

Toppings

1 teaspoon Powdered sugar
2 tablespoon cream cheese
2 tablespoon sour cream
¼ cup grated cheese

Instructions

Take flour, salt and yeast in a bowl. whisk well to mix.
Add water slowly and start kneading to make a dough. Knead well to make a smooth dough.
Keep the dough covered with a kitchen towel and let it rest for an hour or until doubled.
After an hour, turn the dough on to a floured surface and punch it down and divide the dough into 10 equal portions.
Flour your work surface well and take one ball at a time and stretch it to a round shape using your fingers. Keep the inner side thin than the outer edge of the langos. I tried to stretch to a diameter of 5 inches. Let the made langos rest for 30 minutes.
Heat oil for deep-frying, when it is hot enough, slide one langos at a time, fry until it is golden brown on both the sides.
Serve it hot. Top it up with your choice of toppings, we loved it with powdered sugar, sour cream and cream cheese
If you are serving it later, warm it up in a Microwave for 20 seconds and serve along with toppings.
