["In a small bowl, dissolve the dry yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar with 3/4 cup warm water. Let it sit on your counter until it's frothy, about 10 minutes.", "Using a large, deep bowl, combine the flour, salt, remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar and baking powder.", "Once the yeast is frothy, add the yogurt and the olive oil into the small bowl and stir to combine. Pour the yogurt mixture into the large bowl with the flour, fenugreek leaves, and dill (use fenugreek leaves instead of oregano if available, but not both). Note: the oregano, fenugreek, and dill aren't traditional ingredients in Naan bread, but they add a spectacular burst of flavor that I think you'll enjoy. Add them at this point if desired.", "Gently mix the ingredients together with a wooden spoon. When the dry ingredients are blended, knead the dough by hand. It should feel slightly sticky. Resist the urge to add more flour, as this is exactly how it should feel. As soon as it comes together, stop kneading. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm, draft-free place for 2 to 4 hours. NOTE: Pita bread recipes will have you \"punch down\"" the dough after it rises
