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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Once risen, punch down the dough gently to release the air. Divide the dough into four equal portions.
Step 6
On a floured surface, roll out each portion into a flat circle about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Cook the langos for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the cooked langos from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining dough portions, adding the remaining olive oil as needed.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Serve immediately, while warm and crispy. Enjoy your low-fat langos plain or with your choice of toppings!
