Method

1
Whisk flour, yeast, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
2
Add warm water, yogurt, and oil, and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3
Knead 8-10 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise 1-1.5 hours until doubled.
4
Divide dough into 8 pieces and roll each into a thin oval, about 1/4-inch thick.
5
Heat a dry cast-iron skillet over high heat. Cook each naan 1-2 minutes per side, pressing gently, until puffed and charred in spots.
6
Stir garlic into the melted butter and brush generously over each hot naan.
7
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve warm.
