The dough just got weird, almost looks like I added eggs to it. It also looks like it did not raise at all. Was it over-fermented or under-fermented? Outside looked okay-ish and was nice and golden brown.

    That looks to be not fermented at all…

    It´s a cheesecake, that´s wrong with your focaccia

    I always wonder how someone is supposed to know what you did wrong when no one knows what you actually did.

    Either you neglected to add yeast or let it ferment

    Thank you for adding the recipe and describing what you did, it surely helped us understand /s

    Looks like your issue was that you made mochi squares

    Looks more like “not fermented” rather than underfermented, that is egregious. You have either used expired yeast, left it in the cupboard rather than add it to the mixing bowl, or added 1 cup of salt instead of 1 teaspoon.

    This looks like you forgot to add yeast entirely.

    No bubbles.

    Looks like the layer of cheese in a Chicago style pizza

    the problem is in the fermentation process, i don’t understand how focaccia is made but bubbly doughs in general need an unexpired yeast, warm water, a warm place and time to ferment

    Your first clue should’ve been sitting there for hours watching your dough not grow at all

    Severely underfermented, I’d say not fermented at all. If you are certain you added yeast, what kind? Are you certain it’s not expired? If you used to hot of water it would kill the yeast as well.

  14. Hahahaha oh my god. Sorry, but did you try to follow a recipe or just decided to eyeball everything? Before putting it in the oven, it should have clearly visible bubbles. If it didn’t, either you didn’t follow the recipe correctly or the yeast was dead

    It wanted to identify as “pudding” that day

    The yeast you used must have been dead, that looks unfermented.

    not fermented, but otherwise, did you even cook it?

  18. Slice it up, fry it, and sauce it. You made seitan.

    Was your dough even doing anything? Did you notice any rising? Significant volume gain? With this as your finished product, you should have been able to tell something was wrong along the way. What was your process? Recipe, ingredients, etc?

    If you’re going to use mashed potatoes instead of flour, you have to let it rise a *lot* longer.

    Nobody really knows how long yet. Just, longer..

    I was trying to figure what this was 😹😹
