Halve the ripe avocado, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and mash it with a fork in a bowl. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to preserve its color.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. This forms the base for the naan.
Add the yogurt, lukewarm water, and olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a smooth dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, until it becomes elastic and smooth. Tip: If it sticks, sprinkle with a little flour, but don't over-dry it.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Divide the risen dough into 6 equal portions. Shape them into balls, then roll them out into oval shapes.
Spoon a portion of the avocado puree onto one half of the rolled-out naan, fold the other half over, and gently press down. Slightly stretch it again.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the naans for 1-2 minutes per side, until brownish spots appear.
Once cooked, brush with melted butter while still hot – this enhances the flavor of the soft dough and makes the surface shiny.
Serve warm – it makes an excellent breakfast, brunch, or light dinner with salad or yogurt dip.
