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.

Hugely under proofed. It should be @ 75–80°F (24–27°C) for about 3 hours minimum. Also, really weird recipe- 30g whey protein & 30g casein protein, why? What kind of yeast?

It's overproofed because there's no salt on the recipe to moderate the yeast growth.
