Butter Garlic Naan
Soft, pillowy naan bread blistered in a hot skillet, brushed with garlic butter, and sprinkled with cilantro. Better than any restaurant version and surprisingly easy to make.

Instructions
Mix warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit 5 minutes until foamy. Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Add the yeast mixture and yogurt. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise 1 hour.
Divide the dough into 6 pieces. Roll each into an oval about 1/4-inch thick.
Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Cook each naan for 1-2 minutes per side until puffed and charred in spots.
Tip: Get the skillet screaming hot. The high heat is what creates the characteristic bubbles and char. Don't be afraid of a little smoke.
Mix the melted butter with minced garlic. Brush each hot naan generously with garlic butter and sprinkle with cilantro.
