Add warm water to a bowl and mix in sugar and yeast, letting it sit for 10-15 minutes.

Melt one stick of butter in a small pan over medium heat.

Once melted, add four cloves of minced garlic and stir, then turn off the heat.

In a mixing bowl, combine the activated yeast mixture, bread flour, salt, and one tablespoon of garlic butter.

Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for 3-4 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Transfer the dough to a bowl, coat with more garlic butter, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and shape it into a rectangle to cut into six pieces.

Roll each piece into a ball and let them proof for 15-20 minutes.

Roll out each ball to about an eighth of an inch thick, optionally pressing cilantro onto one side.

Preheat a cast-iron skillet on high heat for about 5 minutes.

Cook the naan in the skillet, flipping when bubbles form, and pressing gently with a spatula.

Brush both sides of the cooked naan with warm garlic butter and optionally sprinkle with coarse salt.
