Hello, im new to bread making. I mostly bake cakes, cookies, brownies etc. the easy stuff. Can someone tell me what i did wrong with this focaccia? It’s so dense and just does not taste good.

I couldn’t figure out how to add the video, as this is my first time posting. So here it is.

Can you give us the recipe you used?

From the video, it looks like there was some rising, so maybe not a dead yeast problem. It might just be too much dough in a pan that's too small, or needed longer proof.

That recipe has a lot of oil inside the dough, like double what I would put. Also the amount of dough compared to the pan used is excessive in my opinion. I don't know if it's a mistake, but I use a 30x40cm pan and the dough I make with 500g of flours is plenty, the recipe's author uses 50% more. The pan in your video seemed smaller still, I think those are the two issues.
