Forkish's Pain de Campagne + smoked trout toast

Woo! This week has been busy! From baking naturally leavened panettone to focaccia to cookies for Christmas, I've been scrambling around and hoping that everything will turn out well. I was actually able to settle down and make a nice sourdough loaf (which I'm still a newbie at), and I think it turned out pretty well! I followed the pain de campagne recipe from FWYS and was pretty happy with the result!

Crispy crust, relatively open crumb (though definitely could be more), and nice flavor from the levain. I had a hydration around 73% because I was scared it would be difficult for me to handle, but it wasn't too bad. I will probably up the hydration in the future.

Saw this recipe for smoked trout toast, which we happened to have a friend that smokes food for us, so I had to try it out:

So delicious! Anyways, hope everyone had a successful holiday baking time. Next up, New Years!
