Check the temperature of warm water to be around 40°C using a food thermometer.

Add a tiny bit of sugar to the warm water to activate the yeast and stir.

Add 7 g of quick yeast or dried active yeast to the warm water and stir.

Cover the yeast mixture with a tea towel and let it sit for 5-10 minutes in a warm spot.

In a mixing bowl, add gluten-free white bread flour, xanthan gum, salt, and nigella seeds, and stir to combine.

Check on the yeast mixture; it should have a frothy top indicating activation.

Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and add yogurt and a little olive oil.

Mix until a sticky dough forms; this dough will be different from regular bread dough.

Cover the bowl with cling film and place it in a warm spot to prove for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, check the dough; it should have puffed up slightly but not doubled in size.

Divide the dough into four portions and place one portion on baking paper dusted with flour.

Shape the dough into a teardrop shape, about 1 cm thick, while keeping your hands floured to prevent sticking.

Transfer the shaped dough into a hot dry pan and cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes.

Once cooked, brush the naan with heated garlic butter before serving.
