Useful to know

Naan is a South Asian flatbread traditionally baked in a very hot tandoor. King Arthur’s home version uses yogurt dough and a cast-iron skillet or griddle. [1]

This adapts the method to a home kitchen; it does not make the cooking equipment identical. Check the dough consistency and contact with the hot surface. Garlic toppings and filled versions are separate choices. Adding an arbitrary thick filling to a thinly rolled piece changes the shaping and needs an appropriate recipe.
