Step 1

Begin by combining the flour, yeast, sugar, anise seeds and salt in a large bowl, then whisk to combine.

Step 2

Whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, and warm water.

Step 3

Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients.

Step 4

And stir with a fork until the dough comes together. Dust your hands with flour and knead into a soft, sticky ball. Cover with plastic wrap.

Step 5

Let rise in a warm spot until about doubled in size, 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Hint: the warmer the spot, the faster it will rise.

Step 6

Fill a small bowl with flour. Dust some of the flour onto a work surface. Dump the dough on top and sprinkle the dough with more flour.

Step 7

Shape the dough into a rectangle, adding more flour as necessary so it doesn’t stick. Then, divide into six equal portions.

Step 8

Heat a cast iron or heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. While it heats, roll one of the dough balls into a rectangle about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 9

Place the dough in the hot, dry skillet and cook until the surface is full of air bubbles and the bottom is browned and blistered in spots.

Step 10

Flip the naan and cook a few minutes more. Brush the cooked naan with melted butter, and repeat with remaining dough balls.

Step 11

Sprinkle with parsley, if using, then serve warm.
