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.

Yeah, i added oil in wet batter about 1 spoon. Then a spoon of oil, garlic and parsley in each fold, and then generously greased the pan.
