Making Naan:

1. In a bowl, dissolve the dry yeast, sugar, salt, oil with 3/4 cup warm water. Let it sit until it's frothy, it would take about 10 minutes.
2. Take a large bowl, and sift the flour into a large, deep bowl.
3. Add milk to the yeast mixture. Pour this mixture into the large flour bowl. Knead well until the dough comes together.
4. Don’t worry if the dough is sticky. This would make a nice soft naan. The dough should be sticky.
5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and let it sit in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours.
6. At this stage, the dough will be extremely soft and sticky.
7. This is good! If the dough is hard to manage and sticks to hand too much then use a little bit of oil on hand and then punch into the dough. Separate the dough into 4-8 equal portions.
8. Set oven to broil on high.
9. Now lightly roll each one in the extra flour to keep them from sticking to each other.
10. Roll each piece of dough into a teardrop shape using a rolling pin.
11. Repeat this method with the rest of the dough.
12. Place the rolled naan on a baking tray.
13. Place this tray on an upper rack into the oven. Flip it after 2 mins. And let it cook for another minute.
14. If you are having this naan with curry, you can brush it with a bit of butter.
15. Place the naan in a tea towel-lined dish. Repeat the same process with the rest of the dough balls and serve.
16. But here, we will not apply butter as this one will be used as a pizza base.
