Avocado Doughnut

Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.
2
Pour the warm milk into the dry ingredients, then add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3
Mix the ingredients together, then knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.
4
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 cm thickness. Use a glass or doughnut cutter to cut out circles.
6
Place the cut-out doughnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover them with a clean kitchen towel. Let them rise for another 30 minutes.
7
In a large pot, heat the oil to about 340°F (170°C). Drop a doughnut into the oil as a test: if it immediately rises to the surface and bubbles gently, the oil is ready.
8
Fry the doughnuts for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them, then place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
9
Once the doughnuts have cooled slightly, use a piping bag to fill them with avocado-honey filling.
10
Sprinkle the tops of the doughnuts with powdered sugar and a touch of cinnamon for an extra flavor boost.
