Garlic Naan Bread

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine your water, sugar, and yeast.  Allow the yeast to hang out there until it gets all frothy on the top.  This usually takes just a few minutes. 
2. Meanwhile, in a larger bowl, add about 1 1/2 cup of flour, salt, and garlic powder and mix until combined. 
3. Once your yeast is done doin its thing, whisk in your egg, olive oil, and yogurt.
4. Slowly mix your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients.  Mix until well incorporated.   
5. Start slowly adding in more flour until you've got something resembling dough.  I know, super-specific, right?  When you see it, you'll know.  You'll probably no longer be able to put a spoon through it and it isn't as clingy as a toddler when you touch it with your fingers.  All in all, we want to end up with somewhere in the ballpark of 3 ish cups of flour in there.
6. Once we've reached this very, very specific point in our dough making, flop this bitch onto a lightly floured work surface (i.e. your clean countertop) and knead it for about three minutes. 
7. Toss your freshly kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover it and let it sit for about an hour or until it's doubled in size. 
8. Remove your dough, flatten it into a disk (think fat pizza) and slice it into 8 pieces (again, think pizza)
9. Heat a medium-sized frying pan OR (preferable) cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. 
10. Work your pieces of dough into something resembling naan bread.  I like to do this with my hands, but a rolling pin is probably easier.  
11. Toss it into your hot pan and cook for a minute or two on both sides.  It's thin, so it doesn't take long and should bubble up slightly.
12. Remove from heat, and brush with garlic butter.
