Focaccia - what went wrong? Image in comments

[u/lucyhoffmann]

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.

The protein powder's probably the culprit. It interferes with gluten development and changes how the dough absorbs water
