Steps
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
  2. Add the warm water and oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Once the dough has risen, punch down and divide into 8 equal parts.
  6. Roll each part into a ball shape and place on a lightly floured surface.
  7. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out each ball of dough into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick.
  8. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place one of the naan breads in the skillet for 2 minutes or until golden brown spots start to appear on the bottom side of the bread.
  9. Flip over and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown spots appear on this side as well.
  10. Remove from heat and brush with melted butter or ghee if desired.
  11. Repeat with remaining naan breads.
