Eggplant Pepper Mushroom Pizza, with an Desert Pizza of Apple Orange Marmalade 
3 cups Buckwheat flour sourdough hydrated 4 days. Added yeast today.
2 Red Bell Peppers and Eggplant fried in pan.
1 Eggplant sliced covering the top of the dough, covered with spices, De Arbol peppers, Oregano, Cumin and dried Brown mushrooms.
Added fried peppers and eggplant on top of that.
Covered all that with Canned Roma Tomatoes.
And I forgot to add the cheese, as Im typing I remember, but it taste awesome without.
Topping a bit heavy so the crust was compressed but still tasted good and chewee.
Desert Pizza
Same Dough
Sliced up apples, added Cinnamon, added the Orange Habanero Marmalade, baked 475f
Desert dough shows good form
Sorry about presentation, I was rushed and the Kitchen a mess

She's accomplishing more production in five hours time than she did in 12-16 hrs to begin with ...
Just threw those in the fridge to slow them down for while I sleep ...
Is that your dough or just the starter culture? Looks so spongy squishy I just want to play with itgrantmichaels said:Hermione's full-on nao ...

Starter approaching it's max, threw it in the fridge to retard while I sleep (soon, I hope) ...

yuuup ...
part of the strategy of waiting until the end is knowing if it's worth expending effort at all
i'm about to make waffles, and i'm drinking mad beerz and watching the Gator game tonight - that much i know ...
Hermione is here for me, though ... so we'll see if i get my act together tomorrow or Monday ...
there's lots of time yet ... but i'm in vacation mode ... and right now it's waffle time ...
wow.. what a difference a few days make. WFO FTW turns into waffle time. Promising BD and then we get a game of JTT.

Ingredients:
Dough: 1 cup AP flour, 1 cup 00 Caputo flour, 1/2 cup warm water, 2 1/4 teaspoons self rising yeast, olive oil, salt
San Marzano crushed tomatoes 1/2 of a 28oz can give or take with a generous sprinkling of Habapeno powder onto the sauce.
6oz fresh mozzarella cheese plus a sprinkling of shredded mozza and provolone towards the end of cooking.
Torn fresh basil.
I had a little bit of an adventure, I got the fire going nicely and everything was cool, I was about to assemble the first pizza when I realized I forgot the basil and had to go back to the store. While I was gone, I left the top off the Egg. When I got home it was 1200F so now I know exactly how to get that perfect searing heat out of this thing. Problem is, now it is WAY too hot for my pizza stone. I had to wait quite a while for it to cool down to 700F. I honestly didn't time it, rather I did it by sight. I would say it was maybe 3 minutes. The pictures pretty much say it all.

I really liked the last two pictures. Was there two different pizzas in you entry? the crust seems thinner in these pictures than the first few. I normally am not a margherita fan , but I would goon that in a heatbeat.
Edit: Just noticed Double Post fail.
Sweet Heat Apple Crumb
Dough
Mix water, yeast and starter culture and set aside. In a bowl put the rest of the ingredients, then add the water mixture. Mix with the paddle attachment of a KitchenAid for 1 minute on a low speed. Rest it for 5 minutes. Mix again for 1 minute at medium speed. Immediately stretch and fold the dough on a floured surface and then rest it for 5 minutes. Repeat this process of folding and resting until the dough has been folded 5 times. After the last fold, scale and ball the dough. This makes 4 dough balls approximately 350 grams each.
Apple filling
Crumb mixture
Pizza Assembly
Stretch dough and put a layer of the apple mixture. Sprinkle crumb mixture on top. Bake at 500f for approx 8 minutes. Let pie completely cool then garnish with powdered sugar.
This one is a keeper. It was great yesterday and even better this morning with a nice cup of coffee.

Nice pie.
Good call on the dual leavening for the dessert pie - lots of heft to the topping. I'm doing that as well ...

First I didn't go to sleep on Thursday night though, because I was working ... then I slept doubly-long Friday night ...
Also, the main reason I decided to do it at all was wanting to finally try making cheese, but the storm made the rural town next to us inaccessible ...
I'm in, though ... I've got a pie or two in me ... I'm just pivoting.
