In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, vegan yogurt, and olive oil.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air, and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten and roll out to form an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Place one piece of rolled naan onto the hot skillet.
Cook the naan until bubbles start to form on the surface and the underside has brown spots, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
While the naan is cooking, mix the minced garlic, red chili flakes, and chopped cilantro together.
Once the naan is done, remove it from the skillet and brush it with melted vegan butter, then sprinkle the garlic-chili-cilantro mixture on top.
Repeat the cooking and topping process for the remaining pieces of dough.
Serve hot as a side or enjoy it as is.
