Langallo (Hungarian Pizza) is the Eastern European version of the Italian classic, made on focaccia with Hungarian sausage and bacon.
Langallo (Hungarian Pizza)
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Langallo (Hungarian Pizza) is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Bread Bakers. Karen has decided (as our host this month) that we should all bake pizza.
I thought about making a Chicago deep dish, but recalled I had this Hungarian pizza tucked away that still needed to be posted.
I didn’t even KNOW there was such a thing until a few months ago when Eat the World was doing Hungarian recipes. This was originally meant for that event, but real life got in the way so I missed my posting deadline.
The Tension Rises
However, I was quite stoked about the idea of this one. I put it on my focaccia dough since it was a thick crust, and topped it with the suspect toppers, such as Hungarian sausage, bacon, sour cream, Hungarian farmer’s cheese and onion. Oh and paprika. You absolutely MUST have that.
It was a nice outing picking up ingredients. I drove across town with family in tow to pick up the cheese at a Russian grocer. I perused the refrigerator case while husband and daughter pondered the candy section.
Besides the cheese I also grabbed their version of sour cream and O.M.G. it was very thick and good. I need to get over there and get some more to pile on baked potatoes. Can you imagine?
This is Long but Very Easy
Anyway, outside of the waiting time to rise the dough, this is very easy and I am sure you will enjoy it as a change of pace. It has my sneaky mind thinking about doing a sauerkraut version.
You guys do know how much I adore sauerkraut pizza, right? I have two versions on the blog. Number One and The Second But Still Delicious One. (It has meatballs!) Check them out and don’t be shy. And don’t even give me a look. You know good and well I wouldn’t do something twice if it wasn’t yum. There are just too many things in the world to make to spend too much time on ordinary food. 😉

What a fun version of pizza. It sounds amazing.
Isn’t it nice when you have dish made and photographed and along comes an event that fits! I’ll have to hunt down some Hungarian sausage and farmer’s cheese to try this.
Check places with extensive charcuterie and also cheese shops.
It looks completely amazing! Bet the flavor is outrageously good.
I have never had hungarian farmer’s cheese or hungarian sausage – but I hope I come across both soon!
Bacon and sausage sound wonderful and I know that farmer’s cheese added flavor and saltiness. Now I need to find a Russian or Hungarian store!
This hungarian pizza with bacon and sausage sounds really yum. I need to try this.
Sue, I love the addition of honey to the dough. The topping sounds yum. And really enjoyed reading about your trip to the market to buy cheese and sourcream 🙂
Love this version of pizza! Thanks for the tip where to look for specialty cheese.
You really grabbed my attention with ‘Hungarian’, and I had to come see what made it so. I really love this! I figured it would involve paprika, but never guessed about the sour cream. What a great great idea!
Interesting recipe Sue. I like the addition of honey to the dough and the toppings sounds too delicious
A couple new ingredients here for me. Really cool.
