Lángos (Hungarian Fried Flatbread)

A fragrant, puffy fried flatbread with garlic sauce, sour cream, and cheese. Lángos is Hungarian street food: a fluffy yeast dough fried in oil.

These flatbreads are often called Hungarian pizza, and you'll find them at every fair and festival in Hungary. The dish is said to have come to Hungarian cuisine from Turkey. In Hungarian, "lángos" comes from the word for flame.
