11 Steps

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, cumin and salt.
Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together, the yogurt, olive oil, warm water. Add the yogurt mixture to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork until the ingredients come together.
Step 3

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 4

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rest in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Step 5

Divide the dough into small portions, about the size of a golf ball.
Step 6

Roll each portion into a smooth ball, then flatten it into an oval or round shape using a rolling pin.
Step 7

Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Step 8

Place a rolled-out naan onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until bubbles start to form on the surface.
Step 9

Flip the naan and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, until it puffs up and develops golden brown spots.
Step 10

Repeat this process for the remaining dough portions.
Step 11

Once the naan is cooked, brush it with melted butter while it's still hot.
