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

Combine flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Add the yeast mixture, yogurt, and olive oil to the flour mixture.

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

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to a high temperature, around 475°F (245°C).

Divide the risen dough into equal portions and shape each into a ball.

Roll each ball into an oval or teardrop shape on a floured surface.

Brush the surface with milk and sprinkle with sesame or black cumin seeds.

Place the naan on a baking sheet or directly on a preheated baking stone.

Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.

Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter or oil, if desired.

Serve warm with your favorite dishes.
