2) Add brown sugar to the bowl of the electric mixer and dissolve with heated water.
3) Sprinkle in yeast and allow to rest for about 5 minutes or until yeast has bloomed.
4) Turn the mixer on low and begin adding flour 1/2 cup at a time until a loose batter forms.
5) Add mashed avocado and combine well.
6) Continue adding flour until a soft yet firm, slightly sticky dough forms.
7) Add salt and continue kneading and dusting with flour until the dough can be shaped into a ball.
8) Place dough ball into oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap, then with a towel.
9) Allow the dough to rise until doubled in size, about an hour.

12) Pierce rolled out dough with a fork and place on a hot grill.
