In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. This mixture is your foundation. Stir until evenly mixed. It’s quiet at this stage, but just wait for the magic to begin!

Make a well in the center of your dry mixture. Pour in the yogurt and warm water. Finally, add melted butter. Your dough is about to come alive! Use a fork or your hands to blend everything until it starts to form a shaggy dough.

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it for about 10 minutes until it turns smooth and elastic. If it sticks to your hands, add a sprinkle of flour. Pay attention to how it changes texture. This is the interactive part of your cooking adventure!

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Let it rest for at least one hour. This step allows the yeast to work its magic, creating soft and airy naan.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release air. Divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Let them rest for another 10-15 minutes while you heat up the skillet.

On a floured surface, take each dough ball and roll it out into an oval shape, about ¼ inch thick. Make it as fancy or rustic as you like. Don’t sweat about perfection—this is homemade, after all!

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Place one rolled naan onto the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until bubbles start to form on top. Flip it over and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until it gets those lovely golden brown spots.

Once cooked, remove it from the skillet and smear a little melted butter or ghee on top. For added flair, sprinkle some minced garlic or chopped cilantro. Repeat this process for the remaining dough.
