Once the Yeast Is Frothy, Add the Yogurt and the Olive Oil Into the Small Bowl and Stir to Combine. Pour the Yogurt Mixture Into the Large Bowl With Salt, Sugar, and Baking Powder. Note: Fenugreek Leaves Aren't Traditional Ingredients in Naan Bread, but They Add a Spectacular Burst of Flavor That I Think You'll Enjoy. Add Them at This Point If Desired. |

Gently Mix the Ingredients Together With a Wooden Spoon. When the Dry Ingredients Are Blended, Knead the Dough by Hand. It Should Feel Slightly Sticky. Resist the Urge to Add More Flour, as This Is Exactly How It Should Feel. as Soon as It Comes Together, Stop Kneading. Cover the Dough With Plastic Wrap and Let It Sit in a Warm, Draft-Free Place For 2 to 4 Hours. |

Note: Pita Bread Recipes Will Have You "punch Down" the Dough After It Rises, but Don't Do That Here! If You Plan to Finish the Bread Later, Seal the Large Bowl Securely With Plastic Wrap and Refrigerate. Return to Room Temperature Before Continuing the Preparation. |

Dust the Work Area With Flour. Separate the Dough Into 4 Equal Portions. the Dough Should Be Extremely Soft and Sticky; Again, Resist the Urge to Blend in Extra Flour, Since This Is Perfect. Flatten the Dough by Hand, Using Flour on the Work Space to Keep It from Sticking, and Stretch Out the Dough. Use a Rolling Pin to Roll Each Piece of Dough Into a Teardrop Shape That's About 1/4-Inch Thick. Once You've Formed the General Shape, Pick Up the Dough and Stretch It Out by Hand Using Your Fingertips. |
