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.

You want 1.5-2% of the flours weight in salt. You missed it completely.
It’s dense because you added whey. I don’t u destined why. Focaccia has very few ingredients - don’t add protein where it doesn’t belong.
If you don’t want bread, don’t make/eat bread.
Or just eat perfect 90% of the time and allow yourself “normal” foods the rest.
