📝 Preparation Steps
1
Combine the yeast, sugar, warm water, yogurt and 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a large bowl. Whisk the flour and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir the flour into the wet ingredients, adding more flour as needed for the dough to come together as you stir with a wooden or in a stand mixer with dough hook. The dough should be sticky, but you’ll need to add enough flour to make it manageable. Knead the dough on a floured surface by hand or with a stand mixer for about ⏱️ 5 minutes, until it is a less sticky and more smooth.

2
Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl to rise for 1 to ⏱️ 2 hours, or until it has doubled in bulk.
3
Tip the risen dough onto a floured surface and divide it into 8 portions.
4
Melt the butter in a small saucepan and pre-heat a dry cast iron pan over medium-high heat for several minutes until it is piping hot.
5
Flatten one portion of dough and roll it out into a disc that is about ¼- to ½-inch thick. Place the disc into the hot dry pan and cook for a couple of minutes. The dough will bubble and brown in spots. Flip the dough over and cook the other side until it too has browned in spots. Alternately, remove the dough from the pan after cooking one side and brown the naan directly in the flame of your gas burner.
6
As soon as the dough comes out of the pan or off the stove, brush both sides with melted butter and sprinkle any seasonings on top – sea salt, grated garlic, chopped cilantro, nigella seed, sesame seed or poppy seed. Place the cooked naan in a 170ºF oven to stay warm while you repeat with all the remaining portions of dough.
