Step 1
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water; let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and yogurt; stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 3
Knead dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
Step 4
Punch down dough and divide into 6 equal balls. Roll each ball into an oval or teardrop shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 5
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Place one naan in the dry skillet and cook until bubbles form and bottom is charred, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Flip and cook the other side until charred spots appear, about 1 minute. Brush with melted butter and keep warm. Repeat with remaining dough.
