In a bowl mix the dry yeast with sugar and the warm water. Leave for 15 minutes, there should be a froth building on the top which means the yeast is activated.
In a larger bowl mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the centre and add the yoghurt. Add the melted butter, yeast and mix with a dough hook attachment on your stand mixer.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes and then place in a bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and leave in a warm spot for 1 hour to rise.
Divide the dough in 8 equal balls and let it rest for another 10 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a lightly oiled surface with an oiled rolling pin. The naan should be oval shaped and about ½ cm thick.
Heat up a heavy pan and oil the bottom of the pan lightly. Cook the naan on both sides for 2-3 minutes or cook on the grill for the same amount of time. Brush the Naan immediately with the prepared sesame-coriander butter.
For the Sesame-Coriander Butter
Toast the sesame seeds in a hot pan for a few seconds.
Melt the butter in a pan or in the microwave.
Add the chopped coriander and toasted sesame seeds to the melted butter. Use a pastry brush to spread it onto the naan.
