Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Low-fat yogurt
- 100 milliliters Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 whole Garlic cloves (optional, for rubbing)
- 50 grams Low-fat cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the yeast and salt in the flour.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the low-fat yogurt and warm water. Mix the ingredients together using a spoon or your hands until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the bowl and cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough gently to release the air. Divide the dough into four equal portions.
On a floured surface, roll out each portion into a flat circle about 1/2 inch thick.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place one piece of the dough into the skillet.
Cook the langos for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the cooked langos from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining dough portions, adding the remaining olive oil as needed.
For a traditional touch, rub each cooked langos with a peeled garlic clove while still warm. For an additional treat, sprinkle with low-fat cheese before serving.
Serve immediately, while warm and crispy. Enjoy your low-fat langos plain or with your choice of toppings!
