[01]
Overview
The creator documents her attempt to make focaccia bread, starting by pouring a large, over-proofed dough from a bowl into a baking pan and expressing shock at its texture. She struggles to divide the sticky dough into two separate pans, questioning if she has messed up the recipe. Despite her uncertainty, she proceeds to shape the dough, add olive oil, and concludes that since the dough has to rest again, she might not have failed after all.
