Forget heavy and greasy langos! This recipe for bubbly yeast-free langos comes from Croatia and is perfect for summer days.

For 6 portions

Ingredients

300 ml white yogurt (ideally full-fat)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
400 g all-purpose flour
oil for frying (a larger amount)

Preparation procedure

Dough base: Place the yogurt, salt, sugar and baking soda into a large bowl. Mix everything well so the ingredients combine.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and work into a smooth, non-sticky dough. It's best done by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.
Shaping the dough: Shape the dough into a rough log and divide it into equal portions. From each piece, form a small roll. Cover with cling film and let rest for 5 minutes.
Roll each roll out into a thin flatbread, approximately the size of the pan.
Frying: Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan. Fry the langos on both sides until golden. Each piece will puff up nicely while frying and form the typical bubbles.
After frying, let them drain on paper towels to remove excess fat.

⏱ Total preparation time: approx. 25 minutes

🍽 Number of servings: 6 medium langos

Recipe conclusion

These yeast-free langos will delight you with their simplicity and speed. Thanks to the yogurt and baking soda, the dough is beautifully tender, light and at the same time crispy. They taste great with garlic, sour cream, cheese or even sweet with jam. A great idea when you fancy something quick, tasty and without proofing. Try it and see that even a langos can be as light as a feather!
