Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and instant yeast. Then add the olive oil and water. Stir to combine, then knead with your hands (or use a kitchen machine with a dough hook) until it's a smooth dough. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour; if it's too crumbly, add more water.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it sit in a warm place until the dough doubles in size (for about 2 hours).
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces (about 100g each). Roll out each piece on lightly floured parchment paper.
Heat frying oil in a pan (fill it no more than half full), and carefully add in the langos. Let it fry on each side for 1-2 minutes. Place the langos on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Repeat for the rest of the langos.
Grate garlic and mix it with 2 tablespoons of the hot frying oil.
Brush the fried langos with the garlic oil. Sprinkle salt on top.
