Mix yeast, sugar, and warm water in a bowl; let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.

Add the yeast mixture and yogurt to the flour mixture; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Preheat a baking stone or skillet over medium-high heat.

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a ball.

Roll each ball into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick.

Brush one side with melted butter and sprinkle with minced garlic and chopped cilantro.

Place the naan butter-side down on the hot stone or skillet; cook until bubbles form, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the naan and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.

Remove from heat and brush with additional butter before serving.
