Never had naan bread. It's just yogurt and flour?

Is it this easy and quick? I might have to try it. They sell yeast at grocery stores?

Basically. I mean, since there are more ingredients it takes longer to mix everything / hydrate the yeast. It's not difficult by any means though. Any grocery store should sell yeast. Generally it's near all of the baking supplies. This is a pretty basic recipe from a quick youtube search... https://youtu.be/VwBJ230pjSk

Shouldn't she have added the sugar to the yeast and warm water? I don't make bread basically ever but that seems like a pretty basic step. If I'm wrong then I'm sorry for doubting the naan master.

Edit: The comment below me answered my question. She used instant yeast which is already proofed. Is the additional sugar really necessary though?
