Garlic powder can be a convenient substitute.

In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and make a well in the center.

Pour 30 to 40 ml of lukewarm water into the well and add 1/2 teaspoon of dry yeast.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of powdered sugar to the yeast solution and let it sit until frothy.

Add 1 and 1/2 to 2 tbsp of yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 spoons of oil to the flour.

Mix well until the dough forms, ensuring it is not too soft or too firm.

Cover the dough and let it rise for about 3 hours until doubled in volume.

Once risen, divide the dough into small round portions.

Roll each portion on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.

Sprinkle water on the rolled dough and spread chopped garlic over it.

Place the naan on a baking tray and preheat the oven to 250°C for 20 minutes.

Bake the naan in the oven for 5 to 6 minutes, flipping if necessary until cooked.

Remove from the oven and spread softened butter on top.
