Avocado is a pear shape with dark green or blackish skin with a large seed. It is a fruit belonging to the genus Persea in the Lauraceae family. Avocado is often on the hate-list of those people who want to lose weight, but avocado should be every woman's best friend. They are rich in vitamin E which is said to be a beauty vitamin because it is valuable for healthy skin and the prevention of wrinkles. Avocadoes also supply a considerable amount of potassium and large quantities of the extremely healthy monounsaturated fats. These especially the oleic acid and the other nutrients avocado contain that make them one of the most powerful antioxidant foods. Pureed avocado is good for invalids, sick children and those people who are recovering from operation as its easily digestible and contains some antibacterial and antifungal chemicals.

I have already prepared eggless brioche, this is my another brioche without egg n butter...This recipe is adapted from Vaishali's Avocado Brioche, i did slight changes,but not definitely the whole recipe..

5cups All purpose flour
1/2cup Silken tofu
1cup Avocado Puree
1/2cup Luke warm water
1tbsp Sugar
1tsp Salt

2tbsp Active dry yeast

1/4cup Sugar

2tbsp Canola oil (for shaping n brushing)

Take the luke warm water, add the salt, 1tbsp sugar n active dry yeast, stir everything well , keep aside..let the yeast turn foamy, dont disturb them for 5 minute...

Take a large bowl add the all purpose flour, pureed silken tofu n avocado puree, 1/4cup sugar..now add the foamy yeast to the bowl..start kneading..first the dough will be extremely sticky, knead about 15 minutes, grease ur hand with oil if they r sticky...turn them as smooth dough n elastic, wont be sticky...take another bowl, brush the bowl with enough oil n transfer the dough to it..keep the bowl in a warm place for 1 hour...

Punch the dough n divide them as per ur need..as i dont have brioche mould..i turned them as small balls n just placed them side by side n made them as a flower with 4 petals.. grease the mould with oil before playing the dough..let them stand for 1 more hour in a warm place, they will again double their volume..

Preheat the oven at 350F..brush the remaining oil over the dough n bake them for about 30 minutes..Let them cool for few minutes...serve them with any choice of spreads r can have them simply...
