Mix ingredients to make a very wet and soft dough, allowing gluten to fully develop through two brief kneading sessions and two resting periods for fermentation. → Divide the fermented dough into equal portions and roll into balls for a second fermentation. Simultaneously, preheat the oven and pizza stone to the highest temperature. → Prepare the garlic cilantro ghee, and shape the dough into teardrop forms. → Using a damp cloth tool, adhere the naan to the scorching hot pizza stone, and bake at high temperature for 2-3 minutes until golden and puffed up. → Immediately brush the freshly baked naan with garlic cilantro ghee and serve.

In a large bowl, combine plain yogurt, room temperature water, sugar, salt, oil, and yeast, stirring lightly until well mixed.
Add all-purpose flour and mix with a spatula or chopsticks until no dry flour remains, forming a very wet and shaggy dough.
Gently bring the dough together with your hands; at this point, the dough will be very wet and sticky.
Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and let the dough rest (autolyse/proof) for 20 minutes to allow gluten to develop naturally.
After 20 minutes, the dough will be less sticky and more elastic. Knead it for 1 minute.
Two key points for making Indian naan are: the dough must be very soft, and the oven temperature must be very high.
When handling high-hydration, sticky dough, using the 'resting' method (autolyse/proofing) to allow gluten to develop naturally is more efficient and less messy than continuous strenuous kneading.
Naan can be made in batches and frozen after cooling. Reheat in a toaster to restore its freshly baked texture.
Using tools that efficiently retain heat, such as a pizza stone or cast-iron griddle, is key to achieving a perfect crispy outside and soft inside texture.
If you don't have a pizza stone, you can use a thick baking sheet inverted and preheated in the oven as a substitute.
