Naan Bread

1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. active dry yeast
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup plus 4 tsp. non-fat plain yogurt, divided use
1 tsp. salt
11/2 cups bread flour
4 tsp. sesame seeds
Combine the sugar, yeast, and water in a small bowl and set aside until foamy. Combine 1/3 cup of the yogurt, salt, and the foaming yeast mixture in an electric mixer bowl fitted with a dough hook. While the mixer is running at medium speed, add the flour and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. If not using an electric mixer, combine the yogurt, salt, and yeast mixture in a bowl and mix well. Stir in as much flour as possible and then place on a flat surface and knead in the remaining flour. Continue to knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Transfer the dough to another bowl, cover, and allow to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 500°F. Lightly spray 2 baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray. Punch the dough down and divide into 8 balls. Knead each piece of dough into a round-shaped roll and place 4 dough balls on each prepared baking sheet. Cover and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 15 minutes. Stretch each roll into a 4-inch round and allow to rise an additional 5 minutes. Spread 1/2 tsp. of the remaining non-fat yogurt and 1/2 tsp. of sesame seeds on top of each round. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
