Preparation

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yogurt and yeast mixture. Mix well.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until soft and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Divide the dough into 4 equal-sized portions. Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Take one portion of dough and roll it into a circle of about 1/4 inch thickness.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on one side of the naan and press them gently with your fingers so they stick.

Place the naan on the heated pan, sesame side down. Cook for about 2 minutes until it puffs up and turns golden brown.

Flip the naan and cook the other side for another 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.

Brush the cooked naans with clarified butter or vegetable oil. Serve hot.
