Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix together the water, sugar and yeast. Let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- With the mixer running on low speed, add the oil and salt, and then gradually add the bread and whole-wheat flours. Increase the speed to medium high and mix for 7 to 10 minutes, adding just enough additional bread flour so that the dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Do not add too much flour; the dough should be smooth and slightly sticky. Lightly coat a clean large bowl with oil or cooking spray and place the dough in the bowl, turning it once or twice to coat it in oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature until it has doubled in size, about 2 hours.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Mold each piece into a ball by stretching the top and tucking the edges under. Place the balls 1 inch apart on a piece of parchment paper, cover them with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- Lightly dust a work surface with flour. With a rolling pin, roll out the balls of dough into 1/4-inch-thick circles. Place them on the lined baking sheets and bake until cooked through and puffy, about 5 minutes. You do not want them to brown. Cool on a rack and enjoy.
- Leftovers can be frozen in an airtight container or ziptop bag and then reheated in the microwave or toaster.

Tips:
- Use ripe avocados. The riper the avocado, the creamier and more flavorful the dip will be. You can tell if an avocado is ripe by gently squeezing it. If it yields to slight pressure, it's ready to eat.
- Use fresh goat cheese. Fresh goat cheese is milder and creamier than aged goat cheese. It will also melt more easily, making it ideal for a dip.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices. The herbs and spices you use will give the dip its flavor. You can use any herbs and spices you like, but some good options include cilantro, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Adjust the seasonings to taste. Once you've made the dip, taste it and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs and spices.
- Serve the dip with your favorite dippers. The dip can be served with a variety of dippers, such as whole wheat pita chips, crackers, vegetable sticks, or fruit slices.
Conclusion:
This avocado goat cheese dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, flavorful, and tangy, and it is sure to be a hit with your guests. The dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it a great option for busy weeknights or parties.
