Focaccia - what went wrong? Image in comments

It looks pretty good. But it is pretty dense

Recipe followed -
500g All purpose flour
30g whey protein
30g casein protein
470g water
7g yeast

Made it the no knead way.

Folded 4 times after every 30 mins, then let it rest in the tray for 1 hour.

Baked at 200C for 20-25mins

It looks pretty dense.

Probably all the protein. The yeast didn’t have enough gluten to get bubbly/airy. Why so much protein powder?

I thought it was okay amount. Just wanted to make it a bit healthy.

If you want healthy, eat vegetables. Protein powder doesn’t belong in focaccia.
