Step 1
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt, then add yeast mixture, yogurt, and oil; stir until a soft dough forms.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic, then place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
Step 4
Punch down the 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 for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form and the bottom is charred.
Step 6
Flip and cook the other side for 1 minute, then remove and brush with melted butter; repeat with remaining dough.
