Instructions

1
Combine flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Add warm water, yogurt, and oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Oil the bowl, add dough, cover with plastic wrap, and rest 1–1.5 hours until doubled.
2
Divide dough into 8 equal balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a teardrop shape about 8 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. The uneven shape is traditional.
3
Heat a cast-iron skillet over very high heat until smoking hot. Add one naan and cook without oil for 1.5–2 minutes until bubbles form and the underside has dark char spots. Flip and cook 1–1.5 more minutes. The char is flavor, not failure. Brush immediately with melted butter and cover with a clean towel to keep soft. Repeat with remaining dough.
