 For Henrik's birthday I made some Hungarian Langos


It's a Hungarian food speciality, a deep fried flat bread made of a dough with flour, yeast, salt and water. It can be made with yoghurt, sour cream or milk instead of water, a dash of sugar along with salt and sometimes with flour and boiled mashed potatoes. It's eaten fresh and warm, topped with sour cream and grated cheese, rubbed with garlic or garlic butter, or doused with garlic water.
Langos is sold at many fast-food restaurants not only in Hungary but also in Austria.
Langos is known in the Czech Republic, Slovakia Croatia and Serbia too, and it's also popular in Romania. 
Also, a few years ago Hungarian Langos began to invade the Swedish festivals and became a popular festival food.


I normally don't like oily, deep fried stuff, but langos is just different, it's so good!


I only made Langos 3 times in my life (and each time I used a different recipe) and even though they turned out pretty good each time, they were nothing like the real deal that you can buy in Hungary, where they're big, wide and fluffy. 
Something like this:





Then some days later we had Cheese & Crackers night. We like to try new cheeses every time, it's fun and they are sooo good!





So, after all the not so healthy food I've been having during the holidays, I decided it was time to go back to eating healthier again.. :)
