Combine yeast and 1/3 cup almond milk in the bowl of a stand mixer and let sit for 5 minutes.Step 2
Add all-purpose flour, mashed avocados, 2 tablespoons almond milk, sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture and mix on low speed until combined. Add bread flour and mix well until blended.

Punch dough down, cover, and let rise again for another 2 hours.Step 5
Combine olive oil and salt in a small bowl.Step 6
Divide dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a smooth ball. Coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Place dough balls into prepared pan and brush with about 1/2 the oil mixture, reserving the rest. Cover loosely with oiled plastic wrap and let rise until loaf fills the pan and mushrooms over it, about 1 hour more.Step 7
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).Step 8
Brush remaining oil mixture on top of the loaf.Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
