I looked at a picture of what focaccia bread looked like and followed the bake time.
I knew it wouldn't rise into a loaf as it was impossible to shape after bulk fermentation in too warm of place.
Throwing the dough away hurts the soul so I tried to something new and baked it always.
Here's my sad sourdough focaccia attempt for all reddit to see.
Now if anyone has any better recipes for over-fermented dough please do share!

You leave the panties on the garlic ?
To me, it looks kinda underfermented or over kneaded. It looks like your starter isn’t very active. Not to mention, the lack of olive oil and kneading foccacia usually requires.
you must’ve been mad asf
This thing deserves an award 🤣
Honestly this usually results in better focaccia than when I try to follow a focaccia recipe
There’s no way
Sorry man… but this definitely belongs in r/breadcrimes , for many reasons
I don’t know, I think I’d call it sad focaccia
This looks like a diorama of a beach
Are you sure you should be allowed around flammable items? Garlic looks like its the first time you have seen garlic outside a jar.
I need PROOF of this recipe that called for unpeeled garlic 🤣🤣
I showed my brother this zoomed in and he thought it was a beach with shells and seaweed
If a restaurant gave this to me, I’d take a picture and have a story for the ages
I’ve done this before. Next time read a focaccia recipe. You basically drizzle olive oil on it and poke a bunch of holes with your fingers. It’s really fun! Sourdough is fun because it’s always so different but also infuriating because it’s always so different. Better luck next time!
Change hobby
bruh. i can’t tell if this is a joke. i’m ded
You sure you had salt in this bad boy? If it was skipped, or there wasn’t enough of it in the dough it would have proofed quickly at first and then not risen in the oven and would account for its lightish color after baking. Hope the garlic panties came off easy!
Girl I thought this was a kids homemade play dough project LOL
At first, I thought you put oyster shells on it.
Can we please let OP violate rule 5 🙏🏽😭
