Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 cups all
- purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/3 cup sunflower oil, plus more for frying
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit until it becomes frothy, about 5 minutes.
- Add flour, oil, salt, and baking powder to the yeast mixture. Mix well until a smooth dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes or until it is elastic and slightly sticky.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- In a pan, heat some sunflower oil for frying over medium high heat.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. On a floured surface, roll out each portion to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Carefully slide each rolled dough into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain.
- In a separate pan, sauté the mushrooms, onions, and garlic in vegetable broth over medium heat until tender. Stir in tomato paste and paprika, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the fried dough rings warm, topped with a generous spoonful of the creamy mushroom gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Chef’s Insight
This recipe is a vegan adaptation of the classic Hungarian dish, langos, which traditionally includes dairy products. By using mushrooms and vegetable broth, we create a creamy gravy that rivals its non-vegan counterpart in taste and texture.
Notes
This recipe requires active dry yeast. If using instant yeast, reduce the amount by half.
