Activate the yeast: Start by activating your yeast. Add active dry yeast, sugar and warm water into a bowl. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it is frothy.
Create the dough: Sift all-purpose flour into a bowl. Add the salt. Add the whole milk yogurt (⅓ cup). Pour the frothy yeast mixture into the center of the flour. Add olive oil (¼ cup). Add water (⅔ cup). Mix ingredients until they form a dough. Knead the dough. Place dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes smooth. If the dough is sticky, add 1-2 tablespoons of flour. Place dough in a bowl and cover with a cling-wrap. Let the dough rest for 45 minutes. Once dough has doubled in size, punch it down to release air bubbles. Divide dough into equal portions. Roll out each ball of dough into a thin oval or round shape
Make the Garlic Butter: Prepare the garlic butter, mix unsalted butter, minced garlic, salt and chopped parsley. Mix well and set aside.
Cook the Garlic Naan: Heat skillet or griddle on medium-high heat. Brush the surface with vegetable oil or ghee. Place the rolled-out dough on a hot skillet, toast until bubbles form on the surface and the bottom of the naan is golden brown. Flip the naan for another 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the naan from the skillet and brush generously with garlic butter mixture. Repeat the process until all the naan is prepared.
