In a measuring cup add warm water, sugar, and yeast and set it aside.
In another bowl, add all-purpose flour and salt mix it and set it aside.
When yeast becomes frothy, add 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and 3 tbsp of yogurt to it and mix well.
Now, slowly add this yeast mixture to all-purpose flour and mix with a spatula or a wooden spoon until well combined.
Transfer the flour to a smooth surface and knead until it has no lumps (5-6 minutes)
Transfer the dough to a clean bowl, apply some olive oil, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rest for 45 minutes to an hour in a warm place or until the dough doubles in size.
Meanwhile, add olive oil into a bowl, add minced garlic and finely chopped parsley, and set it aside. Also, grate the cheese.
When dough doubles in size, punch it down to release the air and transfer it to a floured surface.
Divide the dough into 4 pieces and make dough balls.
Flatten each dough ball a little and add 1/4 cup of cheese in the center, then grab the edge to seal it to make the dough ball again
Roll out to make a circle. Heat a cast iron skillet until it’s very hot, put your rolled out naan carefully on the skillet and cook from one side for about 1.5 minutes then lower the heat and cook from the other side by pressing the edges with the help of a spatula to make sure it cooks evenly.
Now apply a generous layer of garlic herb oil and enjoy.

You need to adjust the heat several times during cooking. If the cast iron becomes too hot, move it to medium or even low, and if the temperature drops, then move it to high.
You can also make the dough in a stand mixer
