1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of the dry ingredients.
2
Add Wet Ingredients
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the yogurt, olive oil, and water. Mix with a fork or your hands until the dough starts to come together.
3
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
4
Rest the Dough
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

5
Prepare for Cooking
After resting, divide the dough into equal portions (about 6). Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
6
Cook the Naan
Preheat a skillet or tandoor over medium-high heat. Place a naan on the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
7
Add Toppings (Optional)
If using, immediately brush the cooked naan with melted butter and sprinkle with minced garlic and chopped cilantro.
8
Serve
Remove the naan from the skillet and place it in a warm dish. Repeat the process for the remaining dough portions. Serve warm.
