original recipe found here

INGREDIENTS

• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 4 1/2 cups bread flour
• 2 garlic cloves (grated)
• 1/4 cup butter, melted

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
2. Punch down dough, and knead in garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.  
3. Roll individual balls into an oval shape, about 1/4" thick.
4. Heat a medium-large cast iron skillet to medium heat.  
5. Lightly brush one side of naan with a butter and lay in skillet.  Cover for 2 minutes; then brush exposed side of naan with butter and flip dough.  Cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes.  Repeat with the rest of dough.
